Collecting an elephant unlocks a secret link to a guide with all 186 unique art schools. This original collection is for artists, art lovers, art collectors, art historians, and art educators… Scan the QR code corresponding to an elephant to start collecting on the Polygon MATIC clean NFTs blockchain. Thanks to the most recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), using thousands of images as training data, ALAgrApHY, illustrates hundreds of art schools through Elephants! Born to a family of artists, ALAgrApHY's dream as an artist and scientist has always been to learn about Art Schools and Artists and to share his understanding with the rest of the world.

The AI and Music S T ARTS Festival, organised by Sónar, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and Betevé on 27-28 October comprised more than 100 activities that combined music and AI. The event gathered musicians, scientists and artists from across the world who gave exclusive live presentations of their work and experiments with AI. One of the main initiatives of the AI and Music S T ARTS Festival, and one which transcended the event, was the creation of Thinking Lab, an applied research lab where participants can explore the interrelation between AI and musical creativity, and, ultimately, the interaction between people and machines. The Thinking Lab is led by the Intelligent Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Research Centre (IDEAI-UPC) and the Centre for Image and Multimedia Technology (CITM), both at UPC, and coordinated together with Sónar. In this space of debate and co-creation, which has been in place since April, scientists, artists and other professionals exchange experiences and knowledge that has contributed to some of the presentations and performances at the festival.

Together with twelve renowned art and cultural institutions, Ars Electronica recently initiated the European ARTifical Intelligence Lab initiiert. The Europe-wide initiative, scheduled to run for three years, is co-financed by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union and offers artists the opportunity to take part in a residency with scientific institutions: These include the Muntref Centro de Arte y Ciencia, the Laboratorio de Neurociencia de la Universidad Torquato Ditella in Buenos Aires or the University of Edinburgh. Interested artists who wish to develop new artistic approaches at the interface of neuroscience and artificial intelligence can apply for this first residency until February 17, 2019. The results of the residency will then be presented at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz and at twelve network partners throughout Europe. Mariano Sardón: In a conversation with Gerfried Stocker, the artistic director of Ars Electronica, during one of his visits to Buenos Aires a few years ago, we thought that some areas of science, such as Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence, were generating a lot of results and processes which would inevitably impact on our society, and such an impact would need a space for reflection and development in a wide perspective, introducing artists in the context.
