About
Artificial intelligence is not just a tool, but a fundamental cultural technique that is profoundly transforming creative and scientific processes. But how can we use AI technologies in art, design, and music with confidence, a critical eye, and an experimental spirit? In this interdisciplinary learning project, we’ll work together to develop AI literacy as a key competency. Bi-weekly expert sessions with AI pioneers will inspire learning and development in hybrid peer-learning workshops. The focus is both on your individual relationship with AI and on your own practice within the context of your discipline (in interaction with the disciplines of your fellow students). Across departmental boundaries, you’ll develop your own AI learning projects over the course of the winter semester, share your knowledge through a “teach-back” format, and explore “creative augmentation” and its limits. The project offers space for critical inquiry (e.g., critical AI, platform criticism) and free experimentation, culminating in a public closing event in February 2027. An interdisciplinary project led by Max Senges & Klaus Gasteier (in collaboration with Prof. Paulo Modelo, Prof. Ineke Hans, and Prof. Alberto de Campo, among others).
