The development of artificial intelligence, the refinement of its outputs, and the expansion of its applications are progressing at a staggering pace. Literature and visual arts are no exception—on the contrary, these traditional domains of human creativity were among the first to be explored and tested using current AI technologies.
What forms does the relationship between art, literature, and artificial intelligence take today? What is the nature of creativity that now connects human and machine capabilities? And how is our perception of literary and visual works shifting in a world saturated with synthetic images and texts? These are just some of the questions that internationally renowned specialists and experts from the Czech Republic and Slovakia will explore during the GENELIT conference, to which you are warmly invited!
Among the speakers are András Cséfalvay and Matej Novotný, lecturers from the Digital Arts platform at AFAD (Academy of Fine Arts and Design) in Bratislava.
As part of the conference program, the opening of the exhibition GenGen will take place, showcasing student work from the Digital Arts platform at AFAD.
GenGen
Exhibiting students:
Marty Müller, Natália Barnová, Jakub Cingeľ, Kristína Matisová, Olívia Jánošíková, Marco Fíšan, Vira Chernomorets
The presentations by AFAD students from Bratislava will reveal the process of using artificial intelligence to generate poetic texts for the GenGen exhibition. The show incorporates a range of technologies and media to confront poetry-generation software with various approaches and methods of contemporary visual art.
One of the works, PoetPet—which you can even jump with—was created by Marty Müller, Natália Barnová, and Jakub Cingeľ.
The rap battle project Magické doupě (The Magic Den) will be presented by the authorial team Kristína Matisová, Olívia Jánošíková, and Marco Fíšan.
Vira Chernomorets will present her multilingual work about loss in translation titled Your tongue is not my language.
These works will be linked to the project “Generating Czech Poetry in Educational and Multimedia Environments”(a grant funded by TAČR and implemented by ÚFAL, UCL of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and AFAD in Bratislava), which is developing a system for generating poetic texts usable in teaching the history of poetry.
