Artists who have found a unique voice by placing AI at the core of their creative work talk to us about best practices and stories of failure, new possibilities and current limitations. In a series of presentations spanning digital art, music, film and poetry, we map the potential that AI brings to the art world—from digital twins to combining soul with the machine, from embracing the unexpected to projects that can finally see the light of day thanks to AI. How can AI ignite the spark to help find a fresh creative voice?
