What is Artificial Intelligence? Is it really capable of replacing human intelligence, or does it depend on it? And what are the most innovative tools and their applications in the artistic and design fields? Finally: what is ethical and what is not in the use of AI?
The Fine Arts Academies weigh in on these and other topics surrounding the world of Artificial Intelligence through AI x VISUAL ARTS – Exploring Artificial Intelligence, five days of workshops, discussions, and hands-on practice in their chosen disciplines: Design, Art, Multimedia, Cinema, Fashion Design.
All activities of AI x VISUAL ARTS – Exploring Artificial Intelligence took place at the RUFA Campus from October 14 to 18, 2024. The workshops were open to 25 students (RUFA + area GTA – GRAND TOUR AFAM, a project in which RUFA is the lead institution).
The workshops, lasting 30 hours, covered a range of topics from Cinema to Media Arts, Fashion Design to Computer Graphics, and more broadly, the image in all its artistic and communicative facets.
