The Work of Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

As a contribution to the project IUNO at HTW Berlin, we cordially invite you to join this workshop which examines Artificial Intelligence not as a neutral tool, but as a system that fundamentally reshapes how art, culture, and heritage are produced, distributed, and valued – one that carries within it specific histories, hierarchies, and economic interests. Taking artistic practice as its central site of inquiry, the workshop explores how AI systems embed historical inequalities and cultural archives – and how artistic strategies can intervene. Vanessa Garcia (SAVVY Contemporary) guides participants through critical inputs, collective exercises, and practitioner-led sessions that move from analysis to practice. Christoph Holtmann (HTW Berlin) will be present to answer technological questions. All participants are warmly invited to bring their own experiences and questions into the conversation.
