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.

Onassis Stegi

Onassis Stegi is the place where contemporary culture meets aesthetics and science. The place where courageous, restless, daring Greek artists find the means to showcase their work; the place where international collaborations are nurtured; the stage on which the boundaries between science, art, technology, society, education, learning and politics are renegotiated. Above all, Onassis Stegi is the space where questions are asked which feed the mind and spirit, which query givens, with this ideal ultimate goal: generating actions, interventions and ideas which shape and shake society.
Onassis Stegi is a multi-disciplinary cultural space founded by the Onassis Foundation in Athens hosting events and actions across the whole spectrum of the arts from theatre, dance, music and visual arts to digital and hybrid art, with an emphasis on contemporary cultural expression, on supporting Greek artists, on cultivating international collaborations and on educating children and people of all ages through life-long learning.
Since 2010, Onassis Stegi has been providing educational programmes for children, school students, families, young adults, educators and other professionals, introducing new media and technologies as catalysts of creativity and change. Each season’s educational programs reach out in dozens of different directions, but all follow the same simple philosophy: boundless curiosity, inclusivity, group learning, and a range that embraces everyone.
True to its mission to forge links with important institutions beyond Greece’s geographical borders, Onassis Stegi is an active participant in several international networks for the exchange of ideas and artistic practices and collaborates with international organisations seeking to encourage creativity and innovation in the cultural sphere.
The Onassis Stegi has a strong focus on new media and digital art and it runs a regular series of lectures and workshops. Over the past years it has organised several hackathons bringing together artists, coders, designers and other creative groups. It has hosted exhibitions presenting the impact of digital technologies, most notably “Digital Revolution” & “Science Fiction” (in collaboration with the Barbican Centre) and “Hybrids” in collaboration with Ars Electronica Centre and the exhibition “You & AI: Through the Algorithmic Lens” within the framework of the European Artificial Intelligence Lab project.
