Artificial intelligence (AI) is reconstructing the world inside out. From what we consume to how we think, neural processing of massive data is nudging us towards post-human conditions. At the frontier of its potentiality, we wonder how AI will reshape what and how we create. Viewing AI as the latest media in art, this workshop explores its major topics and practical applications.
The main goal of the workshop is to create art and design projects that incorporate AI thinking. Using AI software packages and codes, we aim to generate and incorporate AI ingredients in conceptual frameworks and artistic practices that are central to students.

The lecture series introduce (a) computational art and AI art and (b) machine learning and AI algorithms. We will look at a recent rise of artworks utilizing automation and computation, as well as a brief history and examplorary applications. Through an interactive tutorial, students will learn how to use AI models, to synthesize images, texts, and other data.
During the project development, students will conceive and create art and design works that incorporate AI thinking. Consultation and discussion will be held daily.
