AI and Art

We aim to situate art, architecture and design practices within the discourse and development of AI technologies.

About AI and Art

We aim to situate art, architecture and design practices within the discourse and development of AI technologies focusing on social-political, geo-political, ethical and aesthetic challenges. Research in this field includes:

  • Facial recognition and algorithmic prejudice
  • Data feminism
  • Climate change data sets and visual information
  • Deep fake synthetic images
  • Coding and cryptography
  • Rare earth mining and the shift from global to planetary thinking

Contemporary art, architecture and design practices can produce a discursive and critical space for investigating the philosophies of planetarity, producing antidotes to techno-fetishism by re-modelling pro-growth economics within sustainability debates.
