RAIVE AI Summer School
The Algorithmic Gaze and CREATIE, both Antwerp-based research groups, will join forces again to organise a summerschool for everyone who’s interested in the topic of performative AI and interdisciplinary creation. After a successful first edition, RAIVE will take place again between the 1st and the 7th of September 2025 in the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.
RAIVE is a laboratory for young artists from diverse disciplines such as dance, music, technology, and visual arts. Artists come together to redefine the boundaries of their craft through the lens of interdisciplinary collaboration. Participants learn to create their own AI systems from basic principles, curating their own datasets through a very “hands-on” artistic approach. 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 Conservatoire 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!
We can host a maximum of 14 participants. If the number of applications exceeds this amount we will make a selection.
The deadline for application is 22nd of April at 23.59pm (CEST time).
