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.

Meaningful communities
The understanding of our mission starts with a great desire to contribute to the development of cultural life. We see our activities as a method and a universe - before we see them as entertainment - through which people are able to share views, experiences and ideas with each other. In this way, better conditions for meaningful communities are stimulated, well-being is mobilized through commitment, and the democratic sense of community is strengthened.

The why’s, what’s and wow’s of tomorrow
For a decade exploring the intersection between art, science and technology has been a central subject area for The Culture Yard. The recurring CLICK Festival of Contemporary Art has been a central focal point engaging audiences, artists and collaborators from around the world to curiously explore the field between art and technology. Today, CLICK is a fixed component of the cultural program at The Culture Yard as well as a state of mind. At a local, national and international level, we invite researchers, artists and students throughout the year to collaborations, residencies, co-productions, just as we invite the audience through performing arts, talks, concerts and workshops to explore the whys, the whats and the wows of tomorrow.

Performing arts and artificial intelligence
Especially in the field of performing arts, the exploration of the crossroads between art and technology has been dominant for The Culture Yard. Through the cross-aesthetic scene 4D Boxen, The Culture Yard has developed a number of performing arts productions in collaboration with Danish and international artists and institutions over the years, and through our participation in EU AI Lab, we have through this stage developed the world's first performing arts production, where an artificial intelligence actually plays the lead role.

News maps ahead to embrace and explore
The participation in the EU AI Lab has given us the opportunity to move into an international production environment and not least network and provided insights and competencies in the field of art and artificial intelligence. This is an important focal point for our continued work with - in collaboration with artists, researchers and technologists - to put into perspective the role of technologies in society and provide space for the use of new technology and artificial intelligence to create new artistic expression and new meaning.
