Welcome to my blog and ongoing series, “Creative Practice in the Age of AI.” This website is a living experiment in creativity, collaboration, and curiosity.
What I Write: My Blog
The blog is a mosaic of interests. Current and past posts include:
- Photo essays and photography—visual explorations of everyday and extraordinary scenes.
- Reflective cultural commentary—on books, films, media, society.
- Political analysis—reasoned reflections on civic issues and human experience.
- Creative writing and AI dialogue—blending fiction, poetry, and post‑creative conversations.
If you’re curious, reflective, visual, or imaginative—you’ll find something that resonates.
What I Write: My Featured Series, “Creative Practice in the Age of AI”
Dive into my ongoing series, alternating every two weeks with two types of posts:
Essays on creativity and creative practice—big-picture reflections on how imagination, craft, and making evolve in a world transformed by AI.
ChatGPT‑assisted creative work—including short stories, poems, and transcripts of our collaborative “appendix” chats, showcasing how we ideate and co‑create together.
Each installment is both an artifact and a process: you get the polished piece and a behind‑the‑scenes peek into how algorithmic thinking meets human inspiration.
Who Am I?
I’m Katherine Wikoff, PhD in English (rhetoric and composition), and a professor in the Humanities, Social Science & Communication Department at Milwaukee School of Engineering. I teach:
- Digital storytelling
- Digital society
- Content design
- Film and media studies
- Political science
- Communication, writing, and public speaking
I live at the intersection of humanities and technology, driven by curiosity and connection—whether I’m writing, teaching, photographing, or riffing with an AI partner.
Why This Blog and AI Creativity Series?
Because life is inquisitive and non‑linear: a collage of images, thoughts, and jumps—from a photo that caught my eye to a question that won’t leave me, from a movie motif to an AI‑driven creative spark. The blog has evolved over more than a decade into a space where:
- intuitive, big‑picture thinking meets detail
- academic rigor meets poetic whimsy
- photography meets digital storytelling
- ChatGPT meets creative conversation
It’s where I dig in, connect the dots, document the process, and share it with you.
