YoungSuk Lee, UmArts WASP-HS Art and AI Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Ume\u00e5 Institute of Design (UID), introduces a design experiment through four interactions that mirror and amplify biases in human relationships – dominance, exclusion, hostility, and fractured balance. As new technologies enter everyday life, designs have to address new interactions between ethics and aesthetics as new possibilities also come with new consequences. A current example concerns AI: the tension between its predictive and generative possibilities and the consequences of the biases that easily come as part of such abilities. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, curator Sarah Cook joined UmArts as the WASP-HS Guest Professor in Art and AI in partnership with Bildmuseet, Ume\u00e5 School of Architecture (UMA), and Ume\u00e5 Institute of Design (UID).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Art and AI working is a group is chaired by Guest Professor Sarah Cook, and includes UmArts postdocs, mentors and artists in residence who are working with AI to share their research and develop new collaborative projects. The group considers how arts research can contribute to the social and ethical discourses of AI and machine learning, working in partnership with museums and galleries, artists and curators. The programme critically interrogates the aesthetics and politics of AI, collaborating with, and challenging the algorithmic logic underpinning hardware and software development. We are interested in how creative encounters can allow publics to experience and engage with the ethical considerations and societal shifts that widespread use of AI will bring and feeding that back into AI development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Octopus Club is open to all. It is a book club to close-read texts, artworks and films which investigate distributed intelligence and networked knowledge. Please email Emelie El-Habta<\/a> UmArts Research Co-ordinator you would like to join. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The next text is \u2018The Maniac\u2019 by Benjam\u00edn Labatut<\/a> about the life of John von Neumann nominated by Dimitri. This is contrasted with \u2018Klara and the Bomb\u2019 by artist Crystal Bennes,<\/a> about Klara von Neumann who was married to John, nominated by Ele. This comparison will provide an interesting insight into the history of computing and AI from biographical and feminist artistic perspectives. We will have a short discussion about the books with tea and biscuits after the working group meeting and find a date for a full discussion in March\/April. (Some of us are also reading Kazuo Ishiguro\u2019s \u2018Klara and the Sun\u2019 for the full trio of titles!) next meeting to be confirmed for March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"Art & Artificial Intelligence","post_excerpt":"UmArts is leading research in Art, Architecture, Design and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Ume\u00e5 University in partnership with the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program \u2013 Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) and Ume\u00e5 University\u2019s Centre for Transdisciplinary AI (TAIGA).","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"art-and-ai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-04-07 15:45:04","post_modified_gmt":"2025-04-07 13:45:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/?post_type=programme&p=343","menu_order":0,"post_type":"working_group","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"is_viewable_online":false,"is_playback_available":false,"programme_date_times":"25 April 2025 12.15-13.00","programme_location":"Zoom","label_for_repeating_events":"Gatherings","repeating_events":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/programme\/1610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/programme"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/programme"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1610"},{"taxonomy":"people","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people?post=1610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Octopus Club <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
