The training series “AI in Artistic Practice: Rights, Protection, Opportunities,” scheduled to take place in October and November, will bring together artists, lawyers, and technology experts for events exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and artistic practice. The training is organized by the Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Union (LIAA). They will take place at the SODAS 2123 cultural complex (Vitebsko g. 23, Vilnius).<\/p>\n
The training series is intended for artists, representatives of creative industries, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and technology. It will help participants understand the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on creativity and copyright protection, and take a critical and practical look at the challenges and opportunities of using AI in art that contemporary practitioners face.<\/p>\n
According to the organisers, learning about AI enables artists not only to protect themselves but also to utilise the opportunities offered by technology creatively and responsibly. In October and November, LIAA will invite participants to attend four presentations and take part in a two-part practical training program.<\/p>\n
The series of lectures will begin on October 21 with a presentation by Justinas Drak\u0161as, a doctoral student at the Faculty of Law of Vilnius University, entitled “Authorship of AI-generated works and AI-related copyright infringements.” The presentation will discuss whether works created by artificial intelligence can be considered objects protected by copyright, who owns such rights, and in what cases the use of AI may infringe on the rights of creators.<\/p>\n
On October 27, artist, researcher, and doctoral student in ethnology and cultural anthropology Agn\u0117 Gintalait\u0117 (Vilnius University, Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore, and Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre) will give a talk entitled “Notes from the Synthetic Field: From the Poetics of Error to the Cannibalism of Algorithms.” The speaker will share her experience gained while working with generative artificial intelligence (GDI) and discuss two creative strategies \u2013 when GDI becomes a research tool and when it is used as a creative tool. The artist will also present her new project “Algorithm Cannibalism.”<\/p>\n
On November 5, 19 and 25, artist, curator, lecturer, and Doctor of Arts at the Vilnius Academy of Arts Ignas Pavliukevi\u010dius will give a presentation and hold open workshops, where participants will be able to supplement the AI model with their own information and adapt it for creative purposes. Pavliukevi\u010dius creates interactive installations and AI art, exploring the relationship between humans and technology, emotional exchanges in digital space, and relationships with artificial beings.<\/p>\n
On November 12, Chris Tegho, an interdisciplinary artist from Lebanon and the United Kingdom, will give a talk in English entitled “Perception is Human: Artist Talk on AI in Practice.” Tegho will present the evolution of his work \u2013 from artificial intelligence training to works exploring movement, emotions, and human structures in the context of technology. Chris Tegho is an interdisciplinary artist and machine learning engineer from Lebanon and the United Kingdom, who received his master’s degree in machine learning from the University of Cambridge in 2017.<\/p>\n
The training series “AI in Artistic Practice: Rights, Protection, Opportunities” aims to engage artists in discussions about copyright, creative ethics, and responsibility in contemporary culture.<\/p>\n
