5:00 – 5:10 PM: Winners of the 2022 AI for Art Competition
Using algorithms to generate art promotes deeper understanding of the ways that artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the visual and media-based world around us and provokes inquiry into the endeavor and humanity behind creativity. The 2022 Duke AI for Art Competition is a forum for artworks generated by artificial intelligence methods, systems, networks and algorithms. During this final segment of the symposium we’ll announce the winners of the competition with discussion of their art and its generation.
- Art show competition winners (to be announced)
- Augustus Wendell, MFA, Assistant Professor of the Practice of Art, Art History & Visual Studies (moderator)
