PROJECT DESCRIPTION
AI is obviously changing the nature of creative processes. It plays an important role in creative activities such as music, architecture, fine arts... Indeed, the computer is already a canvas, a brush, a musical instrument itself... What is the relationship between science, computers and creativity?Big data, analytical capabilities of machines went beyond the imagination and became a source of facination for the scientists and artists. What is the human position in this process ?Some elements of the film, such as: music, video art, will be created by artificial intelligence. So that’s how the idea of the human and machines capabilities to co-exist together, will transform into the experimental elements of the film.The structure of the project is the “conflict of narrations”, confrontation between scientific and artistic approaches, convergent and divergent points of view... Each narrator is questioning himself and audience – how are the artificial intelligence, science, art and humanity related...The scientists, artists, mathematicians, neurobiologists, AI experts will analyse the process of creation in the “numeric world”, the world of algorithmes and the “human world”...Different narrations, by different prominent personalities will become a one story...

ART PRIOJECTS
« L’intelligence artificielle est porteuse d’une rupture civilisationnelle aussi importante qu’en son temps le fut l’invention de l’écriture. Elle initie un domaine révolutionnaire de l’industrie culturelle, ouvrant la voie à une forme d’art dans laquelle les oeuvres ne sont pas des objets inertes, mais de sensibles compagnons de vie prenant place dans notre intimité quotidienne.
La Living Mona Lisa est la première oeuvre de Living Art, mise sur le marché. »
Florent Aziosmanoff.
Installation ‘Pissenlits’ by Edmond Couchot & Michel Bret, the exhibition Artists & Robots at the Grand palais, 2018
It presents on a screen a set of nine dandelions, which sway in response to the breath of the viewer.
HUMAN+
Co-production between CCCB and Science Gallery, featuring many additional works.
The project explores potential future trajectories of our species by considering both historical and emerging technologies, as well as their cultural and ethical contexts. What does it mean to be human today?
From Assisted Reproductive technologies (ART) to human digital remains, our lives are mediated and defined by our tools and scientific discoveries
