Šesto izdanje art+science programa Centra za promociju nauke, pod sloganom „Svetovi veštačke inteligencije“, održano je od 23. septembra do 23. oktobra, u Muzeju nauke i tehnike u Beogradu, galeriji Instituta Servantes i Naučnom klubu Centra za promociju nauke. Manifestacija art+science tokom septembra i oktobra publici u Beogradu predstavila je 13 radova nastalih kroz interdisciplinarnu saradnju umetnika, naučnika i drugih aktera, koji osvetljavaju i preispituju neke od najvažnijih tema današnjice kroz

Gošća šestog izdanja programa art+science Centra za promociju nauke, koje se ove jeseni odvija na više lokacija u Beogradu, biće francuska umetnica Žistin Emar. Njen boravak u Beogradu podržao je Francuski institut, a rad Co(AI)xistence posetioci mogu da vide u Muzeju nauke i tehnike do 23. oktobra. Žistin Emar je vizuelna umetnica iz Pariza. Njena dela istražuju nove veze koje se uspostavljaju između naše egzistencije i tehnologija. Kombinovanjem različitih slikovnih
Semeion is an ever-evolving light and sound installation exploring Artificial Intelligence from an aesthetic and humanistic point of view. The installation consists of several large minimalist structures that individually and collectively respond to human presence. As such, it invites viewers to move around the installation to engage in a bodily conversation with artificially intelligent ‘beings’ of light and sound. Over time, the expression of these beings change based on their experience with humans, as a neural network is trained to explore what humans respond well to.
Human Study#1 is an installation where the human becomes an actor. In a scene reminiscent of a life drawing class, the human takes the sitter’s role to be sketched by a robot. The robot, a stylised minimal artist, is only capable of drawing obsessively. Its body is old school desks on which the drawing paper is pinned.
Casper’s Ex is a lonely smartphone that’s been left behind and is trying to connect with you while you are passing by, eager to tell its side of the story. Casper’s Ex is a playful interactive installation on the relationship between human beings and everyday technology. More specifically, this installation is about the relationship between our smartphones and ourselves. We feel attached to our devices, but as soon as a newer and better model crosses our path, we trade them in without remorse. A single ‘I really liked that phone’s layout’ will be heard, and we move on even though we committed to them for a couple of years. The phone, however, cannot move on. Your data, your scent, and your picture is all they have left. It will probably wait in a drawer for you to ever come back and will get very, very lonely.
The SpeculativeAI series consists of two aesthetic experiments. Their goal is to make the processes of artificial neural networks perceptible to humans through audiovisual translation. The work Exp. #2 (conversation) questions an AI’s capacity for empathy and purpose while communicating with a second AI. Both systems are embodied by a light or sound object and can receive the messages of the other. The light object can hear and create images. The sound object can see and play sounds.
Skeens looks at/as the assemblages of physical bodies and multiple digital extensions that conform most contemporary identities. Given their complexity and partial invisibility, and against the strategies of disinformation, commoditization and alienation promoted by accelerated mass-media corporations, Skeens suggests alternative relationships based on memory, finitude and affection. It attends to the subjective and emotional value of digital identities, while looking for formulas that could allow users to inhabit social media in more critical and compromised ways.
AI Lab selection brings a variety of artistic and multidisciplinary works developed, produced and/or presented within a unique network of partners creating the European ARTificial Intelligence Lab - AI Lab project, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. At the time of its inception, at the end of 2018, it was the largest Creative Europe project implemented in Serbia.
The Skeens exhibition, by the Spanish artist Elisa Cuesta, opens on September 8, in the Gallery of the Cervantes Institute, in Belgrade, as an introductory part of the art+science event: Worlds of Artificial Intelligence of the Center for the Promotion of Science. Elisa Cuesta’s work presents a critical look at social networks and large technology corporations, questioning the lack of communications, system errors, excessive control, and virtual relationships. The name of the exhibition is a mixture of the words screen and skin in English and the setting itself contains a fabric eleven meters long, knitwear and several spools of thread.
