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.

Its main aims are to highlight technological advances and contribute to building a more knowledgeable society, bringing scientific culture to citizens, and help socially disadvantaged groups with technology integration. Its founding objectives include the dissemination of scientific and technological progress to build a more participative, inclusive, equalitarian and innovative society. Contribute to create a critical and more informed population, openminded to the new developments at the crossroads of art, science and technology.

    The Foundation headquarters are located, since 2013, at Etopia Center for Art and Technology.
    A public space run jointly with Zaragoza’s City Council, with more than 16.000 square meters dedicated to learning, sharing, and enjoying the capacities of creative technologies. Etopia is one of the Spanish leading venues showcasing creative technologies, innovation, and digital culture but also a place of multi-disciplinary production. It has on its DNA to help citizens to face up the challenges of the digital age by working with artists and a wide range of scientists to promote a better understanding of technologies and its challenges. The building is located next to the train station and the Expo 2008 business and leisure park. It is part of the “new Zaragoza” sitting between two of the most vibrant and multicultural neighborhoods in Zaragoza, Delicias and Almozara. Etopia is on a crossroads, linking the main ring roads, offering excellent visibility for its digital façade. Likewise, the building has several exhibition spaces, three of them of more than 400 sqm. It also has an auditorium, labs, co-working spaces, workshop rooms, a cafeteria, and a 30 rooms of residency space.

    As a content provider and programmer for Etopia, the educational program of the foundation is prestigious and considered a referent on education and innovation, especially popular are our summer programs aiming a younger audience. Our Etopia Kids summer camp has seen, over the years thousands, of children enjoying and learning about art sciences and technology, using the latest’s technologies. Furthermore, the foundation develops projects addressing creativity in the digital space, new forms of artistic expression and perception with new interfaces.

    In 2015 the foundation joined the European Digital Art and Science Network and in 2019 the consortium evolved into the European Artificial Intelligence lab. During the last three years we have developed an ambitious program aimed to show the public the impact of AI in everyday live. A major exhibition featuring ten international artists and three associated artistic residencies, have been the focal point of an extend program. Furthermore, we have carried out educational activities, workshops, conferences, talks, performances.
