Art Thinking
Futurelab Day: Morning Inspirations
Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
Climate change, migration, and digital transformation. We all face major challenges - and there are no simple solutions to the world's big problems. Technological progress in our society must therefore be entirely in the interest of the planet and humanity.

Conference SOCIETY AND ART IN A FORCED REALITY

The epochal crisis and tension of the world is caused by the action of "raging capitalism" because large corporations and their owners have turned the whole world into their own resource - equally (ab)using people and nature - not once caring about the fate and future of the entire population. The conference is looking for an adequate reaction and response of art.
Critical Data
Martin Zeilinger (AT/UK)
Are we witnessing a coming of “creative AI,” and the emergence of a data science that will overcome the existential perils of the Anthropocene? Or is AI, as some are warning, about to emancipate capital from humanity (rather than the other way around)? Building on the concept of algorithmic adjudication and its manifestations in tools such as AI-based digital rights management systems, this talk explores tactical uses of AI through which artists critique and disrupt the outsourcing of codified decision-making to computational agency.
Social Innovation with Art-Sci-Tech

School of Arts is a part of a small but distinctly international University of Nova Gorica, which provides a fruitful environment for interdisciplinary research. In addition to participating in humanities projects, at this institution art finds ways to cooperate with natural sciences, environmental sciences, karstology, physics and astrophysics.
