2026S, Lecture with Practical Exercises (VU), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S05869
Description
This course builds on "AI as a Creative Medium" and focuses on experimental and critical approaches to AI. Artists and designers will explore how to creatively work with and against AI systems – from playful misuse to intentional disruptions. Through hands-on sessions and short projects, students will learn how to intervene in AI models, question their assumptions, and develop their own artistic responses. The goal is to open up new ways of thinking about and working with AI in a creative and reflective way.
