Arts Technologies, Serpentine

Description

Serpentine's Arts Technologies is a research and development programme, established in 2014, that explores the impact of technology through art, research and experimental projects. It brings together people working in art, technology, law, policy and academia to share knowledge and develop new ideas about technology and society, proposing critical and interdisciplinary perspectives on advanced technologies through artistic interventions. Its areas of focus include blockchain, artificial intelligence, video games and life sciences. The programme runs an evolving R&D Platform supporting the development of infrastructures for ongoing artistic exploration and interrogation of wider technological conditions within society, and produces Future Art Ecosystems, an annual strategic briefing providing analytical and conceptual tools for building 21st-century cultural infrastructure to support art and advanced technologies for the public good. Related initiatives include the Creative AI Lab, which researches the changing nature of artistic practices that use AI and links this work to AI development in the public interest; the Lab is run in collaboration with King's College London.
