AI systems have become visible actors within the arts and in society, increasingly taking on active roles in processes of labor and production. But who—or what—is actually acting when an artificial neural network writes a text, generates an image, or composes a song? To whom should we ascribe authorship of artworks generated by or with the help of AI? What new type of presence are we dealing with when a machine performs for us? 

Conversing with the work of Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, the panel of researchers from the interdisciplinary platform New Practice in Art and Technology (UdK / TU Berlin) engages in a public dialogue on the particular performativity of AI systems in contemporary art and culture.

with Marc Pfaff, Jonny Bix-Bongers, Nani Gutiérrez, Alessandro Mac-Nelly und Albert Lang

Organised by KW Friends e.V. in cooperation with New Practice in Art and Technology (University of the Arts and Technical University Berlin)
