Synopsis of digital exhibit: 

At Georgia Tech researchers and artists are incorporating AI into their research, art, and course design. The following works by Gil Weinberg with Amit Rogel; Mark Leibert, Ethan Trewhitt, Kyle Barone, Claire Matheny; Bojana Ginn; and Brian Magerko with Milka Trajkova explore the possibilities and limits of AI within creativity. 

Ginn incorporates AI-inspired design into her sculptures which are then fed to plastic-eating mushrooms as a comment on digitization, mental wellbeing, biotechnology, and the climate crisis. Leibert teaches a Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) at Georgia Tech to study the collision between art and AI and this piece is an early (2019-2022) iteration of what students, Kyle Barone and Claire Matheny, created with AI, co advised by Ethan Trewhitt. Magerko and Trajkova use dancers and movement to train AI avatars to dance and move with humans, blending human artistry and embodiment with artificial intelligence. And Weinberg uses AI, robotics, music, and visuals to ponder the boundaries of AI and creativity. 

This digital art exhibit is in partnership with Microsoft’s AI Day in the A, 404 Day, Portman, and Midtown Alliance.
