EACVA

The project "Embodied Agents in Contemporary Visual Art (EACVA): How Robotics and A.I. Could Influence Creativity" approaches questions that are central in debates in the field of human-machine interaction, art, aesthetics, and creativity through a multi-disciplinary collaboration between artists, computer art and robotics engineers, philosophers, sociologists, and psychologists. With the innovative interdisciplinary methodologies we will use in the project we plan to nourish a cross-pollination of ideas between the artistic and technical/scientific domains... Embodiment, creativity and aesthetic value: How does the embodiment of an image generation system into a robot or drawing machine influence the attribution of creativity, authorship and agency to the system and to the robot itself? What influence does such embodiment have on the perceived aesthetic qualities of the resulting artefacts?
