AI, Arts and Creativity

The Institute for Applied Creativity investigates how artificial intelligence can enhance creative processes in education, health care and the arts. It aims to foster new viewpoints and pioneering strategies, aligning with its vision of “AI for All” to democratize the innovative use of AI in various creative domains.

Our Programs

‘Aberrant Creativity’ Exhibition

“Aberrant Creativity” is an international, juried exhibition exploring the boundaries between our machines and ourselves. It is an opportunity for artists to challenge AI, to seduce AI into creative partnership or lead it astray into play and joy. Visitors are invited to enter a strange new world in which artists experiment responsibly in embodiment and subversion, invention and hacking, community and connection between the human and the machine.

A wall of an art exhibition shows the words "Aberrant Creativity: Unusual Partnerships between Humans and Machines." Three images of people on a crowded bus or subway are posted on the wall. Another art piece that resembles an animal's fur is on a pedestal.

Invited Artist Talk Series

Currently, three talks are planned. The schedule will be posted early in January.
