Generative Arts & Design


Generative AI // Cognitive Art // Fiction as Simulation

The Generative Arts and Design Lab offers both know-how and infrastructure to experiment and prototype with generative artificial intelligence systems. Seminars, projects and facilitated discussions explore the multidimensionality of this emerging field. The cross-disciplinary research exploration is driven by curiosity and interest in the future of learning, of socio-technical systems design, of labor and work across artistic and cultural disciplines. We hope to re-contextualize tech-centric conversations and narratives of innovation and add holistic approaches that imagine new forms of human-machine co-existence.

  • AI’s the Thing: Immersive futures in Dance and Performance Research. A HAMLET Living Lab.

    This session brings together researchers and practitioners from the HAMLET project, from computer science research institutes as well as dance and performance practice, to explore the future of immersion. Drawing on their experience with XR technologies, the participants ask how immersive practices are changing and what new forms of immersion may emerge from current artistic and technological developments.
