The Embodied Agents in Contemporary Visual Art (EACVA) Symposium marks the concluding event of the research project (2023–2026).
This interdisciplinary initiative brings together artists, researchers, and scholars to explore how human creativity can be expanded through collaboration with robotics and artificial intelligence.
Throughout the day, the project’s artists-in-residence will present the outcomes of their year-long residency within our robotic labs.
These include final artworks and experimental practices ranging from robotic drawing and hybrid painterly processes to new methods of integrating machines into artistic practice.
The works of the artists in residence will be complemented by contemporary and pioneering works of art made using computational technologies and drawing machines.
Special guest speakers include:
