AI + Art
From Machine Drawings to Machine Learning
Speakers
In this conversation, Adrian Notz speaks to Jahnavi Phalkey about working with art in the field of science and technology, specifically with Artificial Intelligence (AI). In European history the dichotomy of machines and humans, aesthetics and rationality, yearning for nature and the indigenous versus industrial alienation has always been an artistic preoccupation. Currently it seems that this old struggle of the modern western human has found attention and art is of high interest in science, technology and specially AI research and development to create a more human future. Adrian will speak these aspects and other artistic strategies explored at the pioneering ETH AI Center in Zürich with its AI+Art initiative.
