Art AI Festival: Open Call

Overview

We are seeking to commission an artist to produce a screen-based artwork in response to the Art AI Festival 2021 programme and stakeholder feedback.  The artwork should be something that a general public audience can appreciate, understand and learn from – a remit that is consistent with the ethos of AAF.

This commission is for AAF (see www.art-ai.io) and the award made will be consistent with terms of funding provided by Arts Council England.

The commission is a legacy artwork of Art AI Festival 2021.

Description

We are offering £5,000 to an artist to create an original artwork that responds to the AAF 2021 programme and a dataset of text content from analysis of feedback derived from the festival stakeholders.

The goal of AAF is to showcase artificial intelligence in ways that demonstrate its emerging capabilities, creative applications and key challenges with its use and application (see www.art-ai.io/about).

The artworks included in AAF 2021 demonstrated AIs of different types – we identified three themes from the work: faces, patterns, words.  Your work may comprise any representation of AAF 2021 but will not reappropriate original artworks provided by artists in the programme.  Documentation from the artworks such as video teasers and artist talks can be used.  An archive of photographs and images collected during AAF 2021 can be made accessible for use in the commission if required.  The feedback provided by stakeholders is also a key component of the artwork that we would like to see explored in the commission.  The text dataset highlights what people know/don’t know about AI, the value of the festival and impacts and potential of digital art on the cityscape.  You may of course choose to create or to use and incorporate other publicly accessible datasets pertaining to Leicester and the environs of the AAF 2021.
