Art and Artificial Intelligence
Get an insight into the work of the ETH AI Center at the 17:15 Colloquium of the ETH Library on Thursday, 29 September 2022. Adrian Notz, curator, will talk about questions and topics that are being researched at the Center.
Throughout European history, modern humans have grappled with the dichotomy between man and machine, aesthetics and rationality, the longing for nature and the indigenous as a contrast to industrial alienation. Artists, but also society in general, are taking an interest in this ancient topic.
Interestingly, art’s calls for attention are resonating in the spheres of science and technology, and it is the development of artificial intelligence that has brought this encounter about. The technology appears to be a decisive factor in the future of the human race. The work of the AI+Art Initiative at the ETH AI Center in Zurich is dedicated to these very questions and topics, aiming to contribute a different type of intelligence through artistic interventions and strategies.
The 17:15 Colloquium will be held on location at the Alumni Pavillon (ETH Zurich, Campus Zentrum, Rämistrasse 101, 8092 Zurich, MM C 78.1) or online via live streaming on Thursday, 29 September 2022 at 17.15.
