The distinction between genuinely human characteristics and artificial creations is increasingly blurred by the spread of artificial intelligence – especially in urban spaces, where the interaction between humans and AI is at its strongest.
Massimo Leone deals with the semiotic, cultural and philosophical-ethical dimensions that characterise the uniqueness of humans in contrast to their artificial imitations. Using significant examples, the semiotics of imitation, the uniqueness of the human being and the connection between AI and deep fakes will be analysed.
A digital exhibition and interactive elements will enable visitors to engage directly with AI. The interdisciplinary artist Vanessa Amoah Opoku will be represented with a work and will enter into a dialogue with Leone’s positions.
