collaboration – Artificial Intelligence

GLUON SESSION

Gregor Tatschl — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 10:12:01 +0000

Gluon Foundation (BE)

The Gluon Foundation fosters collaboration among artists and scientists. At Ars Electronica, they will present a new model for cooperation among artists, scientists and art collectors. This entails placing scientists-in-residence as staff members in the ateliers of top-name artists, with interested collectors acting as patrons of these cooperative efforts and thus being able to acquire the works that result from them.

To kick off this new initiative conceived by Christophe de Jaeger, Ars Electronica is hosting a round-table at which curator/art manager Hans Ulrich Obrist (Serpentine Gallery, London) and Paul Dujardin (BOZAR, Brussels) converse with artists and scientists; chaired by Ars Electronica Artistic Director Gerfried Stocker.

Hosts: Hans Ulrich Obrist (CH), Paul Dujardin (BE)

Participants: Rachel Rose (US), Manthia Diawara (ML/US), Damian Ortega (MX), Jan de Cock (BE), Beatrice de Gelder (BE)

Chair: Gerfried Stocker (AT)

European Digital Art and Science Network

Gregor Tatschl — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 21:33:51 +0000

Recent experiences and insights are presented from the European Digital Art and Science Network, which between 2015 and 2017 brought artists to residencies at leading research institutions—CERN, ESO, ESA, and Fraunhofer MEVIS—as well as at Ars Electronica Futurelab.

Perspectives on collaborations betwen art and science are discussed with participating artists, jurors and experts from the cultural and scientific partners.

Introduction and chair by Andreas J. Hirsch.

Sunday, September 10.

3:15 PM–4:45 PM	Art and Science Residencies—Just a “Fly-by” or really a “Rendezvous”? Karen O’Flaherty (IE) and Claudia Mignone (IT), representing the European Space Agency Aoife van Linden Tol (IE) and Sarah Petkus (US), artists Sabrina Haase (DE) and Bianka Hofmann (DE), Fraunhofer MEVIS
4:50 PM–5:30 PM	The Conversation of Artists and Scientists—Why do they need Curators? Aisling Murray (ES), Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin Antoine Conjard (FR), L’Atelier Arts Science Grenoble
5:35 PM–6:15 PM	From Encounter to Collaboration—A Quantum Shift in Art & Science? Victoria Vesna (US), UCLA Art\|Sci Center Jurij Krpan (SI), Kapelica Gallery, Ljubljana

At this conference the accompanying publication is presented: The Practice of Art and Science, Gerfried Stocker, Andreas J. Hirsch (ed.), published by Ars Electronica and the European Digital Art and Science Network, Hatje Cantz, Berlin 2017.

Avatar as Prosthesis

Gregor Tatschl — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 13:10:34 +0000

Gretta Louw (AU)

The project Avatar as Prosthesis was created by the artist Gretta Louw and included a collaboration between Karin Guminski and the LMU Art and Multimedia students Aida Bakhtiari (IR), Leonie Brill (DE), Laurenz Dallinger (DE), Laura Haase (DE), Jelena Majstorovic (RS), Elisabeth Mayer (ZA), Alex Minner (DE), Melissa Dietzel (DE), Nadine Kupitza (DE), Kris Weinand (DE), Jessica Woods (DE), the artists of the Pfennigparade, an organization supporting disabled artists, and the Cultural Office of the state capital of Munich.

Students and artists were invited to discuss the topic of avatars and to create their own representations, whether in 3D space or on paper.

Me/You/Us + AI

QUT Guerrilla Knowledge Unit

Artificial intelligence is inspired by human experience. But how might we create smart machines that are inspired by diverse human perspectives?

This lab encourages you to explore this by “coding” your body (and others) to perform a series of interactive, collaborative, and highly playful instructions, using lo-fi and low-tech materials. Get ready to transform into smart machines.

Come, Build With Us!

Gregor Tatschl — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 13:25:25 +0000

Hayta (AT)

We are inviting everyone to come and build interactive visuals with us. Anyone can collaborate either by coding with us directly or simply by giving us input on what they would like to see.

Using a Kinect sensor we will build an interactive piece on-site, improving and changing it throughout the day. At the end of every day we will save the latest of that days’ work, and it will be a representation of our collective decision making.

MoRFES_02: Robot Ecologies for Construction

Maria Yablonina (RU)

MoRFES_02 (Mobile Robotic Fabrication Eco-System 02) is an iteration of a series of experiments and demonstrators conducted by Maria Yablonina as part of her ongoing research on collaborative mobile robots for architectural fabrication.

This body of research explores and demonstrates fabrication processes for tensile filament structures enabled through the deployment of multiple species of mobile robots on the construction site. For this project, two species of four semi-autonomous robots are deployed to create a continuously changing structure in the gallery space. Throughout the exhibition, mobile robots are to continuously work on an object, removing and adding parts and changing its geometry, demonstrating the potential of the fabrication process live. Collaboration between the different types of robot allows one to view these machines as more than merely tools, but as a micro ecosystem that has the potential to grow and expand over time.
