The Artworks

Artist, Kasis Molga investigates the peculiarities of her father’s writing to see if she can use it to recreate stories, in his voice, from some of her memories or diaries of places which she never visited with him but still would love

Using The New Real’s platform, artists aim to show how it is possible to use textual AI models to "fill in the gaps" of voices missing from historical data.

Ciston presents alternative techniques that can make space for new aesthetics and ethics to emerge through community-centred approaches to machine learning.

Kristensen and Walker report artistic R&D with The New Real that explores how an audience can become enfolded through immersion and interaction, and conversely how the 'black box' of AI can be unfolded by going inside it.

Bucknell reveals the complex reality of superstorms - both environmental and artificial - that hover close on our shared horizon, helping us to think of both AI and extreme weather events as entangled, multiscalar issues.

How can we re-imagine environmental photography using AI, and develop novel classification systems that connect models to higher order understanding of what really matters in the world today?

How can we use artistic concepts such as colour and hue to characterise the outputs of machine learning models, and their impact in enabling or hindering our understanding of the environment?

How can the latent space of a neural network be used to generate speculative visions for the future of environmental photography?

How can we visualise near futures for the environment when the machine learning model will be far more complex and deal with more uncertainty and vagueness than anything we could program?
