The words collected from the OPEN CALL_IN THE ERA OF AI will take shape in a 3D sculptural installation by Danae Stratou titled "It's Time to Open the Black Boxes". This work will be presented in the much-anticipated group exhibition "Do Electric Sheep Dream? The Human Condition in the Era of Artificial Intelligence", curated by Dimitris Trikas.

An exhibition that promises to provoke thoughts, stir emotions, and perhaps... open the black boxes of our technological age.

Exhibition Venue: Marasleio Megaro

Further information about the exhibition will be announced soon.

THIS OPEN CALL: https://opentheblackboxes.org/opencalls/open-call_in-the-era-of-ai-labour-relations-and-the-human-creativity/

We live in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Technology is advancing in an extremely rapid manner, bringing about deep structural changes to the production process, labor relations and the very concept of artistic creation. Automation, robotics and artificial intelligence are changing everything in the way we work, in the ways we express our creativity. But, we must not forget: technology is an instrument, a tool and as such, it’s neutral, it does not predetermine our destinies by itself. It is the ownership of technology and the ways in which it is used that determine the ways -negative or positive- technology affects our lives. The discussion on this very important issue is absent from the public domain and the political debate. Let’s inaugurate it!

THIS OPEN CALL:

👉 https://opentheblackboxes.org/opencalls/open-call_in-the-era-of-war/

As if the pandemic crisis, climate emergency, peripheral wars and forced migrations were not enough, big power antagonisms take a most acute form, distracting humanity from facing its most pressing challenges and putting it at risk even of a nuclear escalation. Rabid nationalism gets normalised, entire populations and cultures get “cancelled”, free speech and the right to information get all the more restricted, economic life becomes painfully uncertain for the many, new barriers are being erected, millions of refugees are again on the run.
