The Art Research Centre (Institute of Art History with Institute of Theatre and Film Research) of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with the NOVUM Foundation, is organising an international conference on Artistic and Artificial: Intelligence, Imagination and Creativity. The conference will focus on the challenges posed to artistic creativity by the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in our life-worlds and the possibilities of mutual communication between different types of intelligence. Furthermore, it aims to reflect on the shapes of intelligence and the cooperation of information technologies and creativity in theatre, film and the visual arts.

The conference intends to explore how information technology and digital media model audience experience and participation in the reception of an artwork, hence questions of how the polarities affected by digital media (e.g., algorithmically organised surveillance vs freedom of expression, traditional vs new media, care vs alienation) can be related to established notions of the art-science disciplines.

The conference will take place on 3 and 4 October 2022 in Bratislava. Please send abstracts up to 500 words in English to the following email address by 30 May 2022: aaiic341022@gmail.com
