Art, and Intelligence at Arnolfini
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Scifi dreams do come true! Dave Mckean might be best known for his work with Neil Gaiman (esp. The Sandman) but now he’s talking to bots about Gilgamesh. Hear one of the greatest visual artists of our time tackle the creative existential crisis around AI image generation in conversation with UWE’s Digital Cultures Research Centre. "

A event held at Arnolfini on Tuesday 27th September. The event starts at 19:30.


AI Art Engines have swarmed across social media feeds this summer, empowering thousands of creators to generate new, and often anti-anthropocentric visions of the world. On September 27th, visionary artist Dave McKean joins Tom Abba, Director of UWE’s Digital Cultures Research Centre, to discuss what this disruption means for art and the future of our creative culture.

Dave McKean’s Prompt – Conversations with Artificial Intelligence is currently sold out. More copies are forthcoming.

Presented by the Digital Cultures Research Centre at UWE Bristol, in partnership with Arnolfini.
