What's the value of artists working with AI?

  • Science Gallery London Great Maze Pond London, England, SE1 United Kingdom (map)

This event is rescheduled from 4 October 2023. Original tickets are no longer valid and will need to be booked again.

What is the public value of artists working with art and technology? How do artists surface aspects of public value in AI and other digital technologies?

Eva Jäger and Dr Mercedes Bunz will present their current work for the Creative AI Lab, a collaboration between the Serpentine Gallery and the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London. Focusing on developing research and prototypes that further artistic experimentation with AI, their work hopes to offer a more nuanced approach to negotiating AI’s public value.

This event is one of a series of lunchtime talks led by King’s researchers in the AI Forum - a dedicated space in Science Gallery London for participation and discussion exploring how AI is made and used. It is part of Science Gallery London's current season AI: Who’s Looking After Me? in collaboration with FutureEverything.


Dr Mercedes Bunz is Senior Lecturer in Digital Society at the Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London. Her last books is an open access publication on machine communication looking at interfaces (University of Minnesota Press/meson press 2019) written with Finn Brunton and Paula Bialski. Her last journal article is: ‘The calculation of meaning: on the misunderstanding of new artificial intelligence as culture’ in Culture, Theory and Critique.

Eva Jäger is Assistant Digital Curator at Serpentine Galleries London and Co-Investigator of the Creative AI Lab with Mercedes Bunz. She is also one part of Studio Legrand Jäger, a multi-disciplinary creative practice researching design and technology together with Guillemette Legrand.
