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.

    from 30.08.-03.09.2021
    a Hackathon on the topic of A.I.ECOSYSTEMS_: a series of Hands-on workshops, inspiration talks on the topic of A.I.

    The Hackathon brought developers, technologists, engineers, students, artists, and scientists together in teams of five participants to cram and build solutions around future scenarios that will be presented at the Festival. Hence, as part of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab and co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Commission the Hackathon provides an environment for innovation, networking and entrepreneurship. By putting creative minds from multiple disciplines together for a short period of time, we have the opportunity to discover and uncover new possibilities for using A.I.

    Objectives of the hackathon have been:
    - Engaging hackers with artistic and scientific institutions across the world
    - International expert to share their knowledge
    - Developing prototypes
    - Promote partnerships through networking
    - Produce innovative products and tools to stimulate the use of open data and public resources to engage with new audiences
