About the Course

Even more so than the paintbrush, camera, and photoshop, AI is becoming an indispensable tool for artists. It challenges the very notion of creativity and art in general. Artists are using AI for inspiration, creation, and in fields like calligraphy, choreography, music, and much more. Together with your mentor, you will explore AI art exhibitions, learn to use AI, and create your own work to be reviewed by judges from MOMA, Kunsthaus, Art Basel, Serpentine Gallery, Google, ETH, and more.
