December 2024 – February 2025
As technologies connected to Artificial Intelligence (AI) are increasingly integrated into various facets of our lives, we find ourselves navigating a transformative yet ambiguous relationship with machines that “learn”, “predict”, and “create”. But the imagery and visual metaphors we associate with AI are struggling to keep pace – and stay heavily influenced by stereotyped and increasingly stale representations such as blue brains or white robots.
To engage in fruitful and effective conversations about AI, we also need new and more appropriate visual perspectives on it. This moment in technological history invites us to explore both the visible and unseen impacts of AI: the complexities of automation, the shift in human connection, or the ethical landscapes being reshaped.
Using image or type, express your visions, doubts, aspirations, anxieties, or hopes surrounding AI and our evolving relationship with Machine Learning systems.
This session aims to foster exchange and dialogue on the topic of AI and facilitate remote collaboration between creators. Participants can add either images or texts to an ever-growing collection of various image and text layers that combine and interact to collaboratively explore our visions of AI in new and playful ways.

This session is a collaborative initiative of the Center for Rhetorical Science Communication on Artificial Intelligence (RHET AI) at Tübingen University and State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart. The idea behind it originated from a creative hackathon bringing together AI researchers, designers, and participants from the interested public in order to create new visuals for AI. [find out more]
