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.

Laboral (Spanien) - KONSORTIUM

LABoral is a multidisciplinary institution which produces, disseminates and fosters access to new forms of culture rooted in the creative use of information and communication technologies (ICT). LABoral has been working in crossovers between arts, science and technology since its creation in 2007. The hybrid nature of the institution is seen through its focus on production, a practice that involves an intense knowledge exchange amongst professionals from different disciplines with a common objective. In this context, the collaboration with all these professionals has always been a new challenge, due to the differences and similarities between practices. Thus, this experience is to be shared, agreed and formalized, with similar hybrid institutions through the production of various research projects and related activities.

LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial

LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial is a multidisciplinary institution, which produces, disseminates and fosters access to new forms of culture rooted in the creative use of information and communication technologies (ICT).
LABoral has been working in crossovers between arts, science, technology and society since its creation in 2007. The Art Centre is located in the Knowledge Mile of Gijón, on the perimeter of the eastern side of the city, between the technological campus of the Universidad de Oviedo and the Science and Technology Park, where the most advanced companies and research projects in Asturias are situated alongside different cultural institutions.

LABoral has a large scope of activities from exhibitions, workshops, seminars, concerts, performances, residences for artists, studio sessions and guided visits...addressed to the general public, professionals, emerging artists or the educational community.

At the heart of the project is the production centre, available to creators to facilitate the development of ambitious artistic projects but also open other creative professionals. This resources centre puts artists, scientists, technologists, designers, entrepreneurs...and other creative profiles in contact with each other to carry out their proposals in a collaborative and experimental environment.
The production centre is also a crucial tool for education contexts. By way of innovative programmes, we research, through practice, on the education of the 21st century, involving the educational community with artists and scientists generating new spaces for knowledge and learning. Training is also provided to enable professionals in the creative field to acquire skills that will enable them to better develop their profession.

The art centre also caters for the general public through a varied mediation programme, bringing different audiences in contact with the most avant-garde forms of contemporary creation.

In conclusion, LABoral functions as an open lab for technological, social and cultural exchange based on a cross‐cutting approach between fields, communities and practices.
