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.
AI x Feudalism: Digital serfdom in the world of Big Data, between property rights, empowerment, and content control

Guided by an invisible hand, the dissolution of commons in meatspace is pretty apparent. Less visibly but equally as contested are digital space territories where wars are waged every nanosecond to determine ownership of vast swatches of the data landscape. While feudal owners of digital space still perpetuate the lie of its capacity towards infinite growth, the fight against autocracy of the few especially grabby mega corporations continues.
AI x Feudalism looks at how artificial intelligence doesn’t just yoke individual data equity to the plough of the feudal machine, but how it inspires dissent, informed consent and a thirst for equality that, for once, leaves no-one behind.

AI x Feudalism: Digital serfdom in the world of Big Data, between property rights, empowerment, and content control
Samstag, 11. September 2021, 17:30 - 19:00 Linz, In Kepler's Gardens, Zirkus des Wissens Geführt von einer unsichtbaren Hand, ist die Auflösung des Gemeinguts im „Meatspace“ – also der Realität – ziemlich offensichtlich. Weniger sichtbar, aber ebenso umkämpft sind die Territorien des digitalen Raums, wo im Nanosekundentakt Kriege geführt werden, um das Eigentum an großen Teilen der Datenlandschaft zu bestimmen. Während die feudalen BesitzerInnen des digitalen Raums immer noch an der Lüge festhalten, dass er unendlich wachsen kann, geht der Kampf gegen die Autokratie einiger weniger, besonders habgieriger Megakonzerne weiter. KI x Feudalismus untersucht, wie künstliche Intelligenz nicht nur die individuelle Datengleichheit vor den Pflug der feudalen Maschine spannt, sondern wie sie zu Widerspruch, informierter Zustimmung und einem Durst nach Gleichheit anregt, der ausnahmsweise niemanden zurücklässt. This conference is presented in the framework of the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union and the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport.
