Artistic Research AI Residency 2024

RADICAL MONUMENTS IN THE AI ERA

Feb-Nov. 2024. A 10 month expanded artistic research residency with FOREIGN OBJEKT, an international network and ecosystem, examines art and philosophy in the AI era. The research group of artists, philosophers, scientists and engineers collaborate on projects expanding on the framework: "Deep Objekt [0]: Agency at the Computational Turn" developed by philosopher Reza Negarestani and residency curator Sepideh Majidi. Founded in 2019, Foreign Objekt promotes interdisciplinary discourse on the transformative potential and future for human and artificial intelligence. Gill Gatfield’s residency research formulates a new rubric: RADICAL MONUMENTS, investigating the transmission of intelligence between human and the AI-AR monument, the creative potential of this art-form, and the implications for diverse, dynamic and democratic public space.

Resident research and artistic projects are presented at Space Gallery Berkley USA, New Art City Virtual, Foreign Objekt and Posthuman Art Laboratory. Deep Objekt 2024 residency advisors and faculty include:  Sepideh Majidi, Maure Coise, Reza Negarestani, Marek Poliks, Roberto Alonso Trillo, Keith Tilford, Borna Radnik, and invited guests.
