Museum Council Students Introduce Ai-Da: Saturday 10th September, 10.30 - 3.30pm, Weston Library
On Saturday 10th September, the Rumble Museum is delighted to have teamed up with Weston Library and the team behind Ai-Da, the world’s first ultra realistic robot artist, for an all day event held at the Weston Library.
Between 10.30 and 3.30pm, Museum Council students from Cheney School will be exhibiting artwork and creative writing responding to artificial intelligence in our lives today and in the future.
From 11 - 12, there will be a Q&A and live art session where audience members will be introduced to Ai-Da herself, who will create a new piece of artwork, and be able to ask Ai-Da questions. This session will be hosted by Cheney School's Rumble Museum Council students (booking essential).
Students from Cheney School will then be exhibiting artwork and creative writing responding to artificial intelligence in our lives today and in the future, as well as introducing Ai-Da to visitors for the rest of the afternoon (please note that Ai-Da will only be interacting between 11 and 12 at the bookable session).
Visitors will also be able to watch a model of Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine in action and a robot ladybug that follows light and sound. The event is part of ‘Imagining AI’, which celebrates objects in the Bodleian's collections that explore the boundary between human and machine.
This co-hosted event marks the end of a year long series of talks, workshops and projects at the Rumble Museum exploring A.I. and the future from a range of perspectives, both utopian and dystopian.
