Art and Artificial Intelligences

Please join us at EMMA for a conversation with artists Holly Herndon and Sougwen Chung. We will discuss their artistic practices and how making and experiencing art is changing in light of new artificial intelligence technologies. The conversation will be hosted by Marko Ahtisaari, Artistic Director of Helsinki Festival.

Holly Herndon’s performance “IP” featuring Holly+ and the Philomela Choir will take place at Helsinki Festival on 26.8. and 28.8. at Pannuhalli, Cable Factory.

For EMMA’s exhibition In Seach of the Present Sougwen Chung creates a large-scale kinetic installation featuring Drawing Operations Unit: Generation 5 (D.O.U.G. 5) robots. Exploring the complex interactions between art, technology and nature, In Search of the Present Exhibition will be open from August 27, 2022 through January 15, 2023.

This conversation forms a part of a joint series of events in 2022–2023 by Helsinki Festival, EMMA and Espoo City Theatre exploring the relationship between art and artificial intelligences.
