AI in Film and the Media Arts – WF Online Series

Online | Eintritt frei

Curated in collaboration with Sabine Himmelsbach, director of HEK (House of Electronic Arts) in Basel, this short film program interrogates the evolving dialogue between artificial intelligence, cinematic language, and media arts. The selected works traverse the boundaries of creativity and technology, offering nuanced perspectives on how AI influences narrative structures, aesthetic paradigms, and the very essence of artistic production. This program invites viewers to reflect on AI’s cultural, philosophical, and ethical dimensions as it reshapes our understanding of art and the human condition. For this program, we will also feature an audio interview with Sabine Himmelsbach, exploring her insights on the intersection of artificial intelligence, cinema, and media arts and her perspective on the evolving role of technology in the creative milieu.
