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:
    In addition to scientific, technological and economic aspects, the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab focuses strongly on legal, cultural, educational and ethical dimensions of Artificial Intelligence. This allows a holistic model that considers human values and elementary questions of what AI should or should not do, as well as how AI systems are developed, deployed, used and monitored, and by whom. From the perspective of 13 major cultural operators in Europe and led by Ars Electronica, the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab centers visions, expectations and fears that we associate with the conception of a future, all-encompassing artificial intelligence.
    While industries are pumping massive amounts of money into cutting-edge technologies to develop intelligent systems, we are connecting artists with research institutions and scientists to fill a gap in dealing with the social components and political questions arising from these enormous technological advances.

    Description
    How do you access your past when it doesn’t exist anymore?
    How do you see yourself when the world refuses to reflect you?
    How do you archive someone who has been erased by the archive?
    We know who we are. We feel the loss of our history with every moment we breathe. With each story we remember another is lost. We need each other. We kept each other here. Yet we hardly seem to exist.
    Each body holds an archive. The past has taught us that history will erase us while it pretends to remember us. So now it’s up to us. Those of us who need to be remembered so that those in the future know that they have a linage.
    Black Trans people are not new. If fact we are as old as time but the whispers buried us. It’s time to hold the responsibility of keeping those of us in the present in our memory.
    I’ve needed you
    You’ve needed me
    And I’ll never let you be forgotten
    Again
    Biography
    Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley (UK) is an artist working predominantly in animation, sound, performance and Video Games to communicate the experiences of being a Black Trans person. Their practice focuses on recording the lives of Black Trans people, intertwining lived experience, fiction and interactivity to create work that refuses to let viewers be passive. The work is often seen as a form of autonomous archiving in which the experience shifts and moulds based on the identity of the user as well as the choices they make during the experiences.
