What is the public value of artists working with AI models?

In the first of a series of researcher-led lunchtime talks at Science Gallery London looking AI in a range of sectors, Eva Jäger and Dr Mercedes Bunz present their current work for the Creative AI Lab, a collaboration between the Serpentine Gallery and the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London.

Focusing on developing research and prototypes that further artistic experimentation with AI, their work hopes to offer a more nuanced approach to negotiating AI’s public value.

Dr Mercedes Bunz is Senior Lecturer in Digital Society at the Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London. Her last books is an open access publication on machine communication looking at interfaces (University of Minnesota Press/meson press 2019) written with Finn Brunton and Paula Bialski. Her last journal article is: ‘The calculation of meaning: on the misunderstanding of new artificial intelligence as culture’ in Culture, Theory and Critique.

Eva Jäger is Assistant Digital Curator at Serpentine Galleries London and Co-Investigator of the Creative AI Lab with Mercedes Bunz. She is also one part of Studio Legrand Jäger, a multi-disciplinary creative practice researching design and technology together with Guillemette Legrand.
