Assembling Intelligence
Alternative Perspectives on AI through Art and Design

Assembling Intelligence, a multidisciplinary symposium organised by HEAD – Genève (HES-SO), will bring together artists, designers, and researchers to highlight a spectrum of alternative definitions for ‘artificial intelligence’. The discussions will introduce much-needed diversity into the otherwise monochromatic and frequently cynical perspectives manifested in mainstream corporate AI models.

A series of talks, workshops, screenings, and performances will bring attention to overlooked intellectual histories of AI, explore intersections between popular culture and human-machine intimacy, look at open software as means for creative emancipation, and highlight diverse futures for our damaged planet by extrapolating from the material and environmental underpinnings of AI infrastructures.

  • Talks will be streamed online (Youtube, Twitch)

  • Free Event (free tickets available via the website)

  • 12 international speakers

  • 4 workshops (free limited capacity ; open to everyone (via RSVP on Eventbrite)

  • Screening of themed short films (24 April end of day; artists TBC)

  • Closing night : LIVE performances.
