AI (Artificial Intelligence) Education Program

Empowering Creative Futures with AI in Art and Culture is a six-week education program that introduces and explores the growing intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and the arts. It is tailored for diverse participants, including designers, artists, curators, writers, mediators, and employees in arts and cultural institutions, and provides theoretical knowledge and practical skills for integrating AI into creative and artistic practices.

‘Module 2: AI Tools for Creative Practices’ will be hosted in SOHO Studios, 1160 Vienna, on the 17th of April and the 28th of April

Lecture & Talk: Creativity in the Age of Algorithms

Time: 16.00-18.00

As artificial intelligence reshapes the creative landscape, artists and designers increasingly engage with AI as a collaborator rather than just a tool. This session explores how AI-powered deep learning systems—from generative adversarial networks (GANs) to diffusion models, LLMs and more—transform visual arts, design, and institutional practices.

We will provide an overview of accessible AI tools that support artists in conceptualizing, generating, and refining their work and examine the mechanics behind these technologies. By demystifying key concepts such as machine learning, neural networks, and algorithmic processes, this talk will empower participants to critically and creatively integrate AI into their artistic practice.

Lecturer: Varvara & Mar (Artist duo exploring art, technology, and society through AI, robotics, interactivity, and public participation.)
