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.

THE BAD WEEDS TRIPS by Rocio Berenguer (ES/FR)
In 2030, a human-plant hybrid guides us on a trip through the past, unveiling the origins of G5, the first inter-species political summit. The event was initiated by IOFLE, the Inter-species Organisation for The Future of Life on Earth. Its founders are thought to be the artist Rocío Berenguer and IA collaborator, IAGOTCHI.
This project will compose various images of the G5 summit, with a narrator ―expressed as a voice or with subtitles― as guide. A short interview with the scientist who worked on the development of IAGOTCHI, the artwork based on an AI chatbot, will be included.

Biography
Rocío Berenguer explores the narratives of our contemporary world, including the evolution of spaces for individual freedom within our society, the place of technology in our daily lives, and environmental issues. Whether in Homeostasis#V2, which focused on the dialogue between human and artificial intelligence; Ergonomics, inspired by the world of start-ups, or G5, about the threats to the future of humanity and species diversity, her creations are fictions that explore the possibility of «another tomorrow». rocioberenguer.com
