AI² – Artistic Inquiry x Artificial Intelligence
AI is evolving at breakneck speed – and it’s completely reshaping the landscapes of pedagogy, art and knowledge production as we know them.
Across three projects, AI2 seeks to explore the ethical, cultural and environmental impacts of this shift and develop new modes of engaging with the technology through artistic inquiry and transdisciplinary collaboration.
