The Speaking AIART 2025 conference aims to showcase the latest developments in AI art, which can be seen in close connection with scientific knowledge. The project’s creators are based on the concept of communication between art and science. Equally important is the ambition to create a Think Tank, for which this festival could provide a suitable starting platform. The conference is organized by the Department of Musicology at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno, the Faculty of Arts at the Technical University in Košice, and partners Media Art Office and Cultcode.org.
The Speaking AIART 2025 conference aims to showcase the latest developments in AIArt, which can be perceived in close relation to scientific knowledge. This aim also has the ambition to open discussions about the possibilities of implementing artistic positions into advanced systems with the goal of initiating an interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of digital humanities or AI humanities. The theme of the first year is the partnership between the artist and AI in the environment of AIArt artistic research. The conference will present several artistic and scientific projects that share the theme of AIArt .
The main focus of the first-ever Speaking AIART conference, happening in a hybrid format at the end of 2024, is the partnership between artists and AI. This theme reflects the rapid growth of AI art over the past 6 years, which has greatly expanded human and non-human creative abilities. It’s clear to see that artists and machines are working together to create new forms of art. Aesthetics are no longer just a human thing. AIART is now exploring important questions about AI, such as artificial consciousness and how machines can make judgments about art. This conference is a great place to explore computational neuroaesthetics and new ways of doing artistic research that can expand our knowledge and experiences. Artists like Kilngemann, Anadol, and Lauren McCarthy are leading the way in this field, along with theorists like Zylinska and Manovich, and architects like del Campo.
Conference program:
The conference will be held as a live stream and in a hybrid format (pre-recorded contributions or lectures) on a single day, tentatively scheduled for January 24, 2025.
The first part of the conference from January 24, 2024.
