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.

Hearing/Recording/Wandering by slow immediate


Our work has always been a search for planetary connection. Quarantine shifted the dynamics of the search. Our project with AILAB, the Wandering Mind, is a sound experience that guides the dreams of a sleeping audience, its source material drawn from planetary-scale sensing and organized by an AI system. From home confinement, we mined the internet for field recordings, tuned radios, and climbed to our Brooklyn rooftop to point antennas at passing satellites. Our isolation crystalized for us how much deeper our search can run, how vivid and connective dreams can be. slow immediate: Gershon Dublon (US), Xin Liu (CN/US) Project Credits / Acknowledgements These video commissions are co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union in the framework of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab. Biography slow immediate is the creative studio of artists and electrical/mechanical engineers Gershon Dublon and Xin Liu. To them, immediacy to the self and environment is pivotally important to being human on this shared planet. slow immediate is a member of the New Museum’s NEW INC and ONX Studio, and recipient of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab residency. Their recent VR film, Living Distance, explores an individual’s place in the cosmos, and is a 2020 official selection of Sundance.

The Wandering Mind by slow immediate (CN/US)


The Wandering Mind is an AI system for dream states. Sampling and recomposing tiny fragments of sound from thousands of global field recordings it finds online, the system generates a winding dream journey for sleeping audiences. When used as a live instrument, the platform presents the performer with an AI-generated mind map of the fragmented sound recordings, which allows them to travel fluidly through the material. In its installation and research format, an AI guide autonomously charts a path with its audience in a feedback loop, as the guide seeks to maintain the audience in a continual state of falling asleep and daydreaming. This residency project was also presented as the AI Lab Journey Hearing, Recording, Wandering at the Ars Electronica Festival 2020. Presented at Ars Electronica & Onassis Stegi
