Silbersalz AI Media Lab

The AI Media Lab aims to lead new creative collaborations with artists, technologists and media producers and level up the researchers’ science communication. Where other programmes focus on embedding artists and creatives with scientists in order to inform their creative practice, the AI Media Lab puts scientists in at the forefront of the collaboration.

The programme will take a group of scientists and develop their research into fully fledged proposals for engaging artworks and experiences that are ready to pitch for investment. Participants will learn to communicate their research in novel and exciting ways under the guidance of expert industry mentors from the worlds of science communications, art, technology, media and impact. Each scientist will develop a creative concept for their research take part in a before taking part in a bespoke matchmaking process toduring which they will forge a new creative collaboration with an artist or media producer who will help them make their engagement project a reality. The final results will be pitched at Silversalz Festival, 17 and 18 September 2021.
