AI Hokusai is an ArtTech Research Project that, inspired by the methodology proposed in the 19th century by the Japanese artist and art educator Hokusai, invites international artists working in various media to experiment with artificial intelligence.

 

The project takes place online in the form of a residency/laboratory. During 3 months, it will combine an intensive internal program of applied workshops for selected artists, with an open public program that includes discussions and masterclasses.

 

While the artists explore generative AI tools to create artworks for a final exhibition, the organizers will conduct a research study, by observing and analyzing the process from diverse optics:  cultural, technological, anthropological, and philosophical points of view.

 

The results of this whole work constitute the basis of a research publication. This paper will reunite the experience of artists, invited experts, and organizers’ analysis to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of artificial intelligence in the context of art, culture, and human heritage.
