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.

Create Your World: Artificial Intelligence Lab Open Lab at Ars Electronica

A traditional strong point of computers is their ability to execute precise calculations. This helps us transmit data, navigate cars, or fly into space. But when it’s about interpreting perceptions of our environment, things that are trivial to humans pose a tremendous challenge to computers. Over the last years there have been great advancements in technologies, commonly called artifical intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML). By applying them, we can literally teach computers things that would have been unthinkable to program just a couple of years ago.

Melissa Undesser und Sebastian Lindinger have realized a project for the Ars Electronica Festival where a simple computer game will become controllable via gestures such as head movements or facial expressions.

An interesting discourse about the possibilities, boundaries and dangers of this technology shall happen!

This project is presented in the framework of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab and co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
