Join a summerschool for performative AI and interdisciplinary creation

In the first week of September 2024 research groups The Algorithmic Gaze (Sint Lucas Antwerp) and CREATIE (Royal Conservatory Antwerp) will organise RAIVE, a summerschool for everyone who’s interested in the topic of performative AI and interdisciplinary creation!  

RAIVE is a laboratory for young artists from diverse disciplines such as dance, music, technology, and visual arts. During this late summer school, students come together to redefine the boundaries of their craft through the lens of interdisciplinary collaboration. Here, the application of AI in art is approached much like creative writing is to literature, focusing on demystifying digital tools and hacking the conventions of traditional art-making. As participants, you will be divided into groups in which you will work for one week. During this process you both learn from each other and benefit from the insights of four coaches, skilled in different areas within the arts. The culmination of this week-long journey is a public presentation held in De Gele Zaal of the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. 

The open call is open to anyone who considers themselves a young/starting artist, regardless of age. Prior knowledge or experience with digital media isn’t necessary, but of course welcome! 

The extended deadline for application is 7th of June at 23.59pm.
