The combination of Art and Artificial intelligence seems highly unlikely and until recently these 2 only existed in completely different spheres. What can be in common between Art and Algorithms based on data sets? Surprisingly, both can contribute and bring different perspectives, knowledge and understanding.
In this cross-discipline Session we bring together Digital artists, professors in data science, heritage, the arts, and archeology to discuss the recent advances and future perspective of application of AI in Arts.
Topics of discussion will include:
- AI application in archeology
- Machine intelligence in art pieces analysis
- Aerial imagery
- HR/AR of urban space
- AI in Ancient language analysis
- Digital archives for museums
Experts:
Training Humans into AI explores a number of pioneering artworks (Lynn Hershman Leeson’s Agent Ruby (2002); Mario Klingemann’s Circuit Training (2019); Kate Crawford and Trevor Paglen’s Training Humans (2020); and Luca Viganò’s The First (2021)) which offer interesting insights about the relations between humans and machines. Exploring how these artists designed their audience’s engagements with their artworks, Training Humans into AI show how we are in effect redesigning our lives to be fit for AI.
