Abstract

This paper introduces Sensory–Algorithmic Dialogic Learning (SADL), a pedagogical framework that reworlds AI-integrated art education through posthuman and postfoundational sensibilities. Rather than approaching AI as a tool of optimization or a threat to human creativity, SADL engages AI and the sensing body as intra-active co-actors in knowledge-making. Through embodied encounters, sensory disruption, and dialogic friction, students navigate algorithmic misalignments to critically reimagine what learning can become. Grounded in multisensory ethnography, SADL unfolds ways of reconfigurations in-between AI’s affordances and absences through artistic co-creations, foregrounding nonlinear, affective, and situated educational pathways that challenge dichotomies of human/machine, knowing/feeling, and past/future. This framework invites educators to resist techno-solutionist logics and instead cultivate co-emergent pedagogies in embodiment, radical care, materiality, and difference-affirmative inquiry.
