ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE – AI LAB

The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab (AI Lab) is a follow-up project to the European Digital Art and Science Network, a creative collaboration between scientific institutions, Ars Electronica and cultural partners throughout Europe that unites science and digital art. The European ARTificial Intelligence Lab follows on from this and addresses visions, expectations and fears that we associate with artificial intelligence. The consortium consists of 13 cultural institutions from Europe with Ars Electronica as coordinator. This online archive provides an overview of all activities carried out during the project's lifetime from 2018 to 2021. It also provides information about the network itself, the residency artists and juries, and the project partners involved. The AI Lab is co-funded by the EU program "Creative Europe (2014-2020)" and by the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport.

• Info (EN): Ars Electronica Journeys is an entirely new format which evolved in the midst of rethinking the festival. Artists, researchers and creative producers were invited to prepare video journeys, providing interactive guided tours without the audience’s physical presence. Beyond that, the journey guides can really invite the viewers into their “world” by not just offering exclusive insight into their fields of expertise and artistic practices, but sharing surroundings relevant to their work – be it their labs, inspiring public places, or their favorite walking routes to mull over ideas. All of the journeys are realized in different frameworks. The European Artificial Intelligence Lab journeys put a spotlight on cutting-edge topics and developments in the realm of artificial intelligence.
• Info (DE): Ars Electronica Journeys ist ein völlig neues Format, das sich inmitten eines Umdenkens des Festival entwickelt hat. KünstlerInnen, ForscherInnen und kreative ProduzentInnen wurden eingeladen, Video-Touren vorzubereiten, die interaktive Führungen ohne physische Anwesenheit des Publikums ermöglichen. Darüber hinaus können die Guides ZuschauerInnen in ihre “Welt” einladen, indem sie nicht nur einen exklusiven Einblick in ihre Fachgebiete und künstlerischen Praktiken bieten, sondern auch die für ihre Arbeit relevante Umgebung vorstellen – seien es ihre Labore, inspirierende öffentliche Orte oder ihre bevorzugten Spazierwege. Alle Reisen werden in unterschiedlichen Rahmen realisiert. Die Reisen des European Artificial Intelligence Lab legen einen Schwerpunkt auf aktuelle Themen und Entwicklungen im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz.

Artificial Intelligence and its False Lies by Mika Satomi (JP/AT)

In this tour, Mika walks you through her process of making Artificial Intelligence and its False Lies, from the first questions she had and how one led to the next, to interviewing scientists and finally teaching herself how to make an artificial neural network. She also attempts to explain how neural networks work, because she was shocked to learn there is no actual intelligence inside the black box! She invites two experts, an AI researcher Diana Serbanescu and a craft and techno culture theorist Daniela K Rosner to have a dialog with her on some of the concepts she is exploring in her work.
