Panelists will discuss a variety of research cases, artworks, creative practices that explore the complications and ethical implications that surround the use of AI across artistic domains.
Jill Miller will present her recent experiments and artworks that use AI tools to manifest activist gestures and ecological concepts.
Sarah Rodrigues will open a discussion about the impact of AI art on the traditional notions of authorship and the possible implications of this technology for art professionals and audiences.
Kostis Saitas Zarkias, with a background in AI research and engineering, will give a gentle technical introduction and overview of some of the practices used to train these AI models and try to dig and uncover some of the inherent issues of building such gigantic models.
Zoe Hatziyannaki ’s presentation discusses the increasing use of geodata apps. Reflecting on the, not so unimaginable, scenario of the end of the world coming from our own extensive visual representations of it.
*This event is part of a new initiative of Onassis AiR as part of which previous and current fellows are invited to contribute to the programming by recommending and coordinating events, talks, screenings, visits, workshops and more. For this second event of the series, the Onassis AiR fellow Zoe Hatziyannaki proposed a panel discussion on the impact of artificial intelligence on authorship, ecology and artistic experimentation.
