Cultural institutions offer a much-needed societal space to critically engage with advanced/deep machine learning technologies. To support this, the Creative AI Lab focuses on a range of research output that includes (1) a growing Creative AI Tools & Resources Database, (2) research workshops, public discussions and writing (3) a series of online tutorials which surface AI/ML infrastructures by exploring their interfaces, called R&D Labyrinths.

Creative AI Lab is a collaboration between Serpentine R&D Platform and the Department of Digital Humanities, King’s College London.
New approaches to aspects of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) including interface design, production and engagement have emerged from artistic practices. The aim of the lab is to surface this ‘back-end’ knowledge and link it to wider artistic and curatorial practices in order to overcome the existing ‘black-box’ narratives. Through the lens of art-making, the lab produces knowledge for cultural institutions, artists, engineers and researchers on how to engage AI/ML as a media. Additionally, the lab aims to develop institutional capacities to engage with this media for the benefit of the wider cultural sector.
Our research currently investigates:
⭢ AI tools supporting by artistic practices
⭢ The changing nature of artistic and curatorial practices as a result of working with AI/ML
⭢ Creative AI as a critical practice
⭢ Aesthetics of AI/ML
