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.

From Glass to Glass to Glass by Nye Thompson (UK)
For my new work /artefact, I took possession of a large area of Mars, using Google Earth and satellite survey data to build a supertall border wall around my claim. In this video, I’ll chat with curator Lucy Dusgate who originally commissioned the work, and our germ-neutral network-enabled conversation will be broadcast across my Martian territory. We’ll talk about my art thinking process generally, and in terms of this new work specifically; including how the pandemic came to influence its eventual form. We will also discuss interdisciplinary collaboration, a vital part of my artistic practice.

Biography Thompson creates software systems to explore technology paradigms and the underlying power dynamics of the machine gaze. She has had exhibitions at the Tate Modern, the Barbican, V&A, ZKM Karlsruhe & Ars Electronica. Her first solo show, described by C4 News as “too shocking to broadcast,” triggered an international government complaint. Her work has been featured by the BBC, CNN, The Guardian & Wired. She’s been called “the new Big Brother” (Vogue) and “a contemporary Jacques Cousteau” (Bob & Roberta Smith).
