This event is organized by the WASP-HS research cluster AI Futures of Culture and Memory, in collaboration with Bildmuseet and brings together researchers and artists. Through presentations, panels, a performance and an exhibition, we will discuss how issues of identity and creativity are challenged, articulated, performed and envisioned in the age of AI.
The event takes place at Flexhallen, Bildmuseet. The last item of the program, an audiovisual performance by Kıvanç Tatar will take place at Black Box, Curiosum.
Registration is closed.
