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.

Partner 2021

Leiden Observatory – Scientific Partner Institution

The Leiden Observatory is housed on the Leiden BioScience Park near the city center of Leiden. Around 103 dedicated medical life sciences companies and institutions. The largest number of bioscience start-ups in the Netherlands. Several multinationals and internationally acclaimed research institutes. The Leiden Observatory is divided over two buildings: the Van Oort building and the Huygens building. The institute also maintains the historical observatory in the center of the city Leiden. The old observatory has a visitor center that hosts several exhibitions related to astronomy and educational programmes. Moreover, the historical building has multiple telescopes, both historical and modern.

Leiden Observatory is the astronomical institute of the Faculty of Science of Leiden University. Established in 1633, it is the oldest university observatory in operation today, with a very rich tradition. Leiden Observatory carries out world class research in the formation of structures in the universe and the origin and evolution of galaxies, the detection and characterization of exoplanets, and the formation of stars and planetary systems. The institute consists of about 35 faculty and adjunct faculty, 50 postdoctoral researchers, 50 MSc and 80 PhD students, and 30 support staff. They offer an excellent educational programme at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels and a renowned PhD programme. Within the Faculty of Science, the institute closely collaborates with the Leiden Institute of Physics, the Mathematical Institute and the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science.

The ambitious research programme of the Leiden Observatory focuses on observations using the world’s most powerful ground-based and space telescopes, on theoretical astrophysical and astrochemical modeling, on large scale simulations, and on laboratory experiments that mimic space conditions. This world-class astronomical research is supported by the development of key technologies for ground-breaking astronomical discoveries and translates into an excellent educational programme at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. The PhD programme delivers scientists that that find employment in astronomy, industry and society worldwide. Through their work, they also seek to engage the public with the wonders of the universe and share the scientific, technological, cultural and educational aspects of astronomy with society.
