Short Description

SOLO AI AWARD invites artistic and speculative exploration of the cognitive and epistemological implications of interacting with the foundational models, embedded systems and multimodal architectures of generative artificial intelligences. In the face of discourses that polarise the human and the machine as opposing entities, we recognise that AI beyond being understood as a simple tool, implies in itself a logical re-organisation that leads us to interrogate new ways of not only sensing the world, but also of sense-making and orientation in a present that requires new frameworks of thought.
