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.

The Robot Suit by Mimi Onuoha (US)
In early 2020, Jess Myers and I participated in Safar, a performative conversation in public space. Hosted by art duo aghili/karlsson, the event involved a live streamed conversation between us as we moved from the center of Stockholm to the duo’s studio on the edge of the city. In reflection of our physical journey, the trip found the two of us conversing about margins, technology, architecture, blackness, and the spaces that we —and others like us— find ourselves constantly moving within and between. The Robot Suit This conversation is a follow-up to that one. This time, rather than taking a physical journey, Jess and I will set ourselves up on a Brooklyn to discuss themes of our work over tarot cards. The journey that our conversation takes will be tied to the major arcana of the deck. By staying in one place, we reference numerous things: the international moment created by Covid-19 that has forced so many people to stay in one place; my recent work The Future Is Here!, which focuses on machine learning labor carried out within domestic spaces; and the power-geography of the world that has shaped our own work, individually and collectively. As we stay in one place, we will address questions of migration, coloniality, space, and what it means to work under conditions that are curtailed ―and made possible― by all of these.

Biography Mimi Onuoha is a Nigerian-American artist and writer whose work interrogates the power dynamics and global hierarchies contained in acts of data collection. Her multimedia practice uses print, code, installation and video to call attention to how people are differently abstracted, represented, and missed by digital systems. Onuoha has spoken and exhibited internationally. She has been in residence at Studio XX (CA), the Data & Society Research Institute (US), the Royal College of Art (UK), the Eyebeam Center for Arts & Technology (US), and the Arthouse Foundation (Nigeria, upcoming).
