Art & AI
For a long time, it was assumed that simpler jobs would be the first to be taken over by artificial intelligence (AI). However, numerous programs now demonstrate that AI is highly capable of creating creative works—from photorealistic creations to imaginative essays. Our research group explores the question of whether, or to what extent, AI-generated works can be considered art and what implications this entails.
In a semester project, students from the “New Media and Intercultural Communication” program pursued their own projects, addressing them with both an interest in insight or communication and a creative visual implementation. Psychological well-being is a multifaceted concept that not only refers, in the negative sense, to the absence of disorders but also to a comprehensive state of well-being that enables personal growth and self-actualization. The students approached this topic from diverse perspectives, employing a variety of methods and creative implementations.
Workshop Environmental Photo Festival Zingst
The festival in Zingst on the Baltic Sea attracts numerous photographers each year, who attend lectures and participate in workshops on various topics ranging from landscape to abstract photography. In our workshop, the focus was on the creative staging of people interacting with locations and on using the body as a canvas in body painting.
