Artist Talk

Lecture and discussion with Prof. Dr. Pamela Scorzin Nadja Reifer and Lisa Ackerl
Tuesday, 23 January, 10.00 am

As part of the exhibition AI+ Artificial Intelligence and Art in the splace of the University of Art and Design Linz, an Artist Talk will take place on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 from 5 pm. The influence of artificial intelligence on contemporary artistic practice and vice versa will be critically discussed.
Two of the around 30 artists represented in the exhibition, Lisa Ackerl and Nadja Reifer, will present their work for discussion. We are particularly looking forward to Pamela C. Scorzin, who will introduce the topic with a keynote speech and talk to the artists - and the audience! - will speak.

The people involved in the lecture and discussion

Pamela C.Scorzin is a critic and Professor of Art Studies and Visual Culture as well as Vice Dean of the Department of Design at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts. She is currently working in particular on artificial intelligence in the context of contemporary art. She works as an author for KUNSTFORUM International, among others, and was a key contributor to the volume Kann KI Kunst?

Lisa Ackerl studies architecture at the University of Art and Design Linz. Her works and projects deal with urban development and ecology as well as technological-digital production methods. On display in the exhibition is the participatory installation BAUBONANZA, developed together with Merlin Großmann: the supposedly individual dream house is generated from the sketch drawn by visitors in a fully automated, AI-based process.

Nadja Reifer, a bioart artist with a background in communication research and design, creatively explores alternative perspectives on nature, technology and the unconscious. Her PhD project Interspecies Incubation, which can be experienced as an example in the exhibition, transforms traditional anthropocentric incubation theories through collaborative assemblages with entities such as the many-headed organism Physarum polycephalum, a slime mold, and machine learning apparatuses.
