With first explorations of collaborations with artists in the context of the AI Center and ETH we are identifying the interests and needs of faculties, researchers, lecturers, students and more as well as the potential of bringing AI, art and science together to anchoring art and critical thinking in the ETH AI Center.
Currently following artists among others are assisting us in our explorations and conversations. Their projects can be found here.
Aparna Rao & Søren Pors
external pagePors & Rao is a Bangalore based art duo working with objects and installations often incorporating physical animation and responsive behaviors. After toiling with computer simulations, the internet, and gameplay in the early 2000s, they both abandoned the screen to work with objects that engage the body. Crossing paths in Italy in 2002, the two began a collaborative in 2004. The duo now lives between their studio in Bangalore and their lab in Zurich.
Nora Al-Badri
external pageNora Al-Badri is a multi-disciplinary and conceptual media artist with a German-Iraqi background. Her works are research-based as well as paradisciplinary and as much post-colonial as post-digital. She lives and works in Berlin. She graduated in political sciences at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt/Main and was the first artist-in-residence at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology (EPFL) and its Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+) in 2020. Her practice focuses on the politics and the emancipatory potential of new technologies such as machine intelligence or data sculpting, non-human agency and transcendence.
Liat Grayver
external pageLiat Grayver (1986, Kfar Yehezkel, Israel) is a Berlin-based cross-disciplinary painter and media artist, investigating methods to redefine one of the primitive forms of art — painting — within the current technology-based era. Since January 2016, Grayver has been collaborating with the University of Konstanz on the development of the e-David painting robot, exploring various approaches to integrate robotic and computer languages in the processes of painting and creative image-making. She is an active member of SALOON — Network for Women of Berlin’s Art Scene, and an associate artist research at the Epistemologien ästhetischer Praktiken programme at the ETH Zürich.
