Artifice Numérique Festival #07 – Intelligence!

For the 2024 edition, Artifice Numérique proposes a theme on intelligence: a return to the processes of interaction between us and humanoid robots. Consciousness, that piece of code that enables us to reprogram ourselves and modify our behaviors inherited from a very long history, is a superficial part of our system of decisions and actions… This analogy between consciousness and self-programming code is reminiscent of artificial intelligences designed on the same model, surpassing our computational and data-processing capacities. Digital artists who use A.I. and make programmed works will be exhibiting installations and performances for this new edition #07 of intelligent digital artifices on the psyche and “Silicon Valley” in California. This year, we’re offering A.I.-assisted creative workshops, some of which use high-performance tools to compose realistic, 3D images, videos, musical ambiences such as in a station concourse, or to help you with computer programming. There will also be a workshop on 3D image-generation tools, in partnership with Fées d’hiver and the town of Saint-Paul in Quebec, as well as critical and encouraging talks on the use of A.I. in learning, creating and simulating autonomous avatars. When it comes to digital works, Hublot still prefers human intelligence, sensitivity and creativity to the source code. A little narcissism with the Insuto collective, emergences and turbulent compositions with Stéphane Bissières or a visit to the futuristic labyrinths of wired architecture with Thomas Garnier and videos by France Cadet, not forgetting audio-visual performances by Stéphane Bissières and the Shapes of Emergence collective, comprising Baudouin Saintyves, Severine Atis, Otto Briner, Ben Kinsinger and Roiel Benitez.
