Tai Kwun: "Starting from Research: Automated Landscapes" Performance-lectureTai Kwun - Centre for Heritage and ArtsSHIFTING by Knowledge Transfer

In this new era where machines and technologies like AI (artificial intelligence) are taking over much of human manual work, will arts creation be exceptions? What roles will robots play in society in the future? The urban research project “Automated Landscapes”, conducted by Het Nieuwe Instituut (the Netherlands), focuses on the incursion of AI and automation in the built environment. The project tries to describe the phenomenon of automated labour in the Netherlands and Pearl River Delta region through artistic presentations, including design dialogues, film screenings and exhibitions. The project researcher Merve Bedir will discuss the roles of humans and robots in the post-human future.
