Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI-powered tools can help artists explore and develop their creative work, but navigating the ethical ramifications, competing technologies, and dehumanizing aspects poses a serious challenge.  Join the strikeWare Art Collective in a Masterclass designed to explore, explain and exploit these ever-changing technologies.  We will critically examine the threats and opportunities AI platforms impose on human creative expression, employ these platforms to facilitate new-media artmaking, and resolve our study and studio work in a culminating group exhibition.

In this workshop you will learn fundamental skills working with new media technologies, including extended-reality hardware, virtual environments, and digital image manipulation that you can take back with you to the classroom.  You will learn how to use AI tools to stimulate your students’ creativity, rather than obfuscate it.  You will leave better able to navigate the treacherous ethical landscape in a world that will increasingly incorporate these advanced technologies.
