Installation : Interstitial Space 2019
In this new interactive installation for the ART-AI festival, Klingemann has created an open feedback loop between the viewer and a portrait- generating adversarial network (GAN) – a type of AI system where two neural networks are pitted against each other. Through a camera, the system behind the installation observes its own output - as […]
Installation : Neural Zoo
Neural Zoo is an exploration of the ways creativity works: the combination of known elements into a new, previously unseen element. The creator in this case is the algorithm itself but with a human artist as its muse. Isn’t all art made by humans an execution or reshaping of data absorbed through biological neurons? How […]

Installation : Working with Useless Machines
Nadine Lessio's Working with Useless Machines is a video artwork. The work documents a critical design project exploring some speculative and humorous thoughts around what happens when smart devices go against their intended functionality. Focusing specifically on developing routines for the Alexa and Google Home, the project considered personal assistants that have emotions, internal motivations […]
Installation : Neural Synthesis
Gene Kogan's Neural Synthesis is a video artwork that explores and expands upon the technique popularly known as ‘deep dream’. This is an iterative process for optimising the pixels of an image to obtain a desired activation state in a trained convolutional network. It primarily experiments with the dynamics of feedback-generated ‘deep dream’ videos, where […]
Installation : Britbot
The Britbot was originally commissioned for Sky Arts as part of their Arts 50 programme. It is an online voice activated chatbot that asks open-ended questions about ‘Britishness’ following topics in the UK citizenship test and corresponding book Life in the United Kingdom. Britbot responds to the answers given by someone interacting with it by […]

Lecture : The Human in the Design
Lecture : The Human in the Design
Speaker : Gerhard Fischer Lecture : The Human in the Design - Trade-offs between Artificial Intelligence and Human-Centered Design The event presents a special guest lecture by human-machine research pioneer, Gerhard Fischer, visiting from Colorado, USA. Gerhard's work has explored theoretical frameworks and system developments for human-computer interaction and he co-founded conferences in Germany on […]
VIP Launch : Gallery
VIP Launch : Gallery
Celebrating the launch of the ART-AI Festival at Phoenix with an opportunity to see Klingemann's and Heaney's work. Installations are open throughout the festival (May 16-31).
Performance : Human+Machine – Improbotics
Performance : Human+Machine – Improbotics
Improbotics is both an improvised comedy show and a live Turing test: an actual artificial intelligence-based chatbot is performing in the show alongside human improvisers. The AI sends lines to one of the improvisers via an earpiece. The cast’s impossible and hilarious challenge is to justify - physically and emotionally - lines that may make […]

Keynote : Ernest Edmonds – Art and Influence: Learning in Augmented Worlds
Keynote : Ernest Edmonds – Art and Influence: Learning in Augmented Worlds
Speaker : Ernest Edmonds AI is important in interactive art. The art reaches beyond the computer game paradigm to explore lifelong evolution and the building of relationships. Working in a distributed connected world a new art of evolving and connected systems is emerging. The worlds in which these new art forms exist extends to virtual […]
Keynote : Mario Klingemann – Interstitial Space 2019
Keynote : Mario Klingemann – Interstitial Space 2019
Mario Klingemann is an artist and describes himself as a skeptic with a curious mind. He taught himself programming in the early 1980s and has been creating algorithms that are able to surprise and to show almost autonomous creative behaviour ever since. In this Keynote, he introduces his latest work, Interstitial Space 2019, which creates […]
Talk : Making a Chatbot
Talk : Making a Chatbot
Speaker : Libby Heaney With the rise of nationalism it is important to reassess collective and individual (national) identities and search for new ways of questioning notions of authenticity and origin. In my mind, Karen Barad’s theory of intra-action is useful for this end. Intra-action posits that objects or phenomena do not precede their interaction […]
Talk : Love Apparatus
Talk : Love Apparatus
Speaker : Fabrizio Poltronieri Can apparatus love? We don’t know for sure, but surely they can say things about love! This artist talk will reflect on the development of the artwork featured as part of last year's ART-AI Festival. “#LoveApparatus” (@apparatus_love) was installed at the Highcross Shopping Centre and delivered generative love text aphorisms based […]
Talk : State of the AI-Art
Talk : State of the AI-Art
Speaker : Luba Elliot This talk will give an overview of how artists and creative technologists are using and thinking about artificial intelligence. Over the past couple of years, there has been increasing interest in applying the latest advances in machine learning to creative projects in art, music, film, theatre and beyond. From Google's DeepDream and style transfer to […]
Keynote : Jake Elwes – Creative Dilemmas
Keynote : Jake Elwes – Creative Dilemmas
Speaker : Jake Elwes The creative possibilities opened up by machine learning and the implications of generating new original content from an algorithm - which has learnt from vast amounts of data using generative neural networks - seem conceptually extraordinary. Early experiments included generating images of electric sheep, clouds in skies, and tricking a censoring […]
Panel : State of the AI-Art The panel is chaired by Ernest Edmonds, with discussants from the day's keynotes and talks. As well as picking up on the issues related to the creative processes, curatorial considerations and audience engagement strategies, this is an opportunity for all conference participants to ask burning questions that may have […]
