Correlations – AI in Art and Design

From 11 to 13 December 2024, the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach is hosting the second edition of Correlations, the Forum for AI in Art and Design. The aim is to jointly reflect on and discuss the role of artificial intelligence and robotics in art and design. How is AI changing creative processes and our understanding of authorship and responsibility? What opportunities and challenges arise for artistic and design practices? The forum will address these and other questions in lectures, discussions, workshops, performances and an exhibition.
