Collective Art Workshop: Exploring Humanity in the Age of AI

Workshop Dates & Time: May 22nd, June 5th and June 12th | 19h to 21h
NOTE: attendants must join all 3 sessions as they build on what was done on the previous one.

Join us for a series of creative workshops that delve into the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. In an era where technology develops so rapidly, we reflect on its impact. In these sessions, we discover the various ways AI can be enriching and make us reflect on what it means to be human.

We will begin with conversations inspired by the Socratic method to collectively explore different questions and perspectives. This will be followed by creative expression, in which we draw the ideas and topics that came up during our conversation, as well as experiment with mixing different creative elements together. Finally, we will create a collective art piece in a way that resembles AI’s data gathering process.

This workshop is for everyone who doesn’t feel comfortable when hearing about AI because it seems too far from their daily life. The sessions are given by visual artist and filmmaker Colina van Bemmel, who is also navigating the challenges and opportunities AI brings. It is not meant to educate about AI, but it is a way to exchange views and reflect on new perspectives through conversation and artistic expression. As each of the participants would have different backgrounds, this will be a shared journey for all.

[This workshop series is part of the “I log in, therefore I am” exhibition, on view from May 30th to June 23rd]
