Introduction
Rare books, digital archives, and inexhaustible databases await for you to conquer them, so that you can create a new artpiece. But how can Artificial Intelligence help you?
You gain access to the Onassis Library digital book collection, to the Cavafy Archive’s digital collection, but also to web archives specialized in European Culture. And then, what’s next? What do you do with them?
The program Archives in Transit proposing the creative appropriation of artifacts found in databases, as well as in traditional collections, gives you and your classmates the opportunity to collaboratively examine the potential usability of this material, through artistic practices and the interference of Artificial Intelligence.
Through presentations, research, access and navigation technologies, visits to physical and virtual collections, and by endorsing freedom in reusing and creatively utilizing cultural heritage, the world of digital tools will pave the way for digital art.
You have access. Take the next step. Create in the world of digital art.
