Archives in transit 2: Artificial Intelligence, Art and the Environment

Nowadays, digital and technological literacy is considered a necessary tool; but it is not enough. Adolescents, as contemporary citizens, are asked to become agents of a sustainable reality harmonized not only with technological developments, but also with natural ecosystems. If one adds to the above the desire for art in all its forms, then this inclusive workshop becomes essential.

The Onassis Library reveals its digital and physical collections, Stegi makes available all its artistic program, and the workshop organizers open the doors to a knowledge that can connect, research, create, and provide tools and inspiration. Through historical documents and artistic acts, students will discover the impact of the human species on the ecological degradation over centuries.

Archival documents on people, places, travels, nature and the environment across time, a historical review of information science, data, machine learning, algorithms, digital pollution and digital footprints, archives and ecology, tangible and intangible heritage, and digitization, become concepts and tools to get acquainted with and, finally, to create your own work that will be presented at Stegi.

The educational program is produced within the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab and is co-funded by the “Creative Europe” program of the European Union.
