The goal of the workshop is to explore several relations between artificial intelligence and arts. It will be focused on three central topics:
Every new available tool is soon used by artists in their own unique way. In particular when handled in a way that is not intended by the creator, the tool can yield impressive results, think e.g. of a camera with too long exposure time or multiple exposure of a single film piece. Artificial intelligence can be used to create art in a similar fashion.
Artificial intelligence can be used to investigate art. For instance, when trained on many pictures of the same artist, it can distinguish pictures of this artist from others by learning specific features. Thus, it can determine the style of an artist and reproduce it, thereby make art itself?
What does the additional knowledge about an artist, obtained from artificial intelligence, tell us? Is it useful or even meaningful to art experts? And what would be interesting results that can be obtained from the usage of artificial intelligence which could not be derived before?
We welcome contributions on research work which utilizes artificial intelligence to investigate art.
Accepted works are first presented in an approx. 15 or 45 minute talk* and then discussed next to a poster (maximal size: A0 portrait).
*: Whether the talk is 15 oder 45 minutes will depend on the scope of the presented work and should be named within the submission.We welcome contributions on works which are using artificial intelligence to create art or works which investigate art utilizing artificial intelligence. Accepted works are first presented in an approx. 15 or 45 minute talk* and then discussed next to a poster (maximal size: A0 portrait) or in a similar fassion.
AI and Arts is associated with the German KI 2019, which brings together researchers from all areas of AI.

… which present their work created with artificial intelligence.
You will first present your work and/or the process of creating it in 15-45 minutes to the other workshop participants.
Here you can use any suitable medium: a video, sound, a live performance, what so ever. Please indicate beforehand what type of media will be used.
Then, the piece art (or any copy*) is presented in front of the workshop room in a public space and discussed with the other workshop members. We will provide wall space up to A0 size for hanging print outs and small tables for laptops or sculptures. Please contact us at aiandarts.workshop(at)gmail.com in case you feel this might not be sufficient for your work.
*: Beware: We can't provide a safe place for your work. So please do not bring the original art to the presentation outside the workshop room, use a copy instead.
As part of the conference, there will be a curated art exhibition during the week.
We are in contact with the organizers of the art exhibition, who will also show selected submissions from the workshop at art exhibition.
To give the organizers of the art exhibition time to plan, please submit early and indicate your interest in the art exhibit. Consequently, early submissions have a greater rate of success to be selected.
