We are looking for young artists and professionals (18-32) from the fields of music, visual and performing arts, and media to participate in the groundbreaking AI&I Experimental project – an educational program that explores the symbiosis between art and AI as a tool to combat misinformation.

 The application deadline is 3 November.

 The program starts on November 9 and ends with a gala performance on December 21.

 Participation is free of charge.

About the project

“AI & I Experimental ” is an experimental project that brings together art and technology, focusing on the role of artificial intelligence in contemporary creativity. The project is aimed at students and young professionals from different disciplines – dancers, musicians, visual artists, journalists, and disinformation researchers. The main goal is to create artistic projects that integrate music, dance, and visual arts, all of which will be generated and/or supported by artificial intelligence (AI). The project will address important topics such as the interaction between humans and machines, the role of technology in art making, and how AI and misinformation influence the cultural environment and public perceptions.

Themes and focus

The project will explore how artificial intelligence can be used both for creative purposes and as a tool for manipulation and will provoke reflection on the ethical and social implications of the deployment of AI in cultural spheres.

Participants in the AI&I Experimental will work in a creative team under the guidance of mentors with expertise in a variety of disciplines and will have the chance to create a unique project that combines music, dance, visual arts, and AI, addressing the theme of misinformation. All projects will be presented to a panel of judges, and the best one will be performed at a gala event on December 21, 2024.

Terms and conditions

Participants will be selected from students and young professionals from the following fields:

• Dancers and choreographers: Participants with experience creating and performing stage works.
• Musicians and Composers: Artists who will work on the creation of musical compositions in collaboration with artificial intelligence, and who will participate in the generation of sounds or entire works.
• Visual Artists and Designers: Artists who will be involved in the creation of visual elements such as scenography, projections, and digital installations generated using AI.
• Journalists and media researchers with a focus on misinformation and digital media: Participants with an interest in the topic of information manipulation and its consequences.
