Modern AI-models successfully process vast amounts of data and generate new texts, images, music and video based on them. This technological shift challenges humanity with a fundamental question—what constitutes genuine creativity?

MONDAY, 19 JANUARY, 7PM
TUESDAY, 27 JANUARY, 7PM
TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 7PM

Meeting point: 45 Frith St, London W1D 4SD

Price: £15
What becomes of art's status in the AI era? What new modes of creative expression emerge at the intersection of human and technological agency? How will roles be negotiated between humans and algorithms wielding substantial "creative" capacity?

We invite you to explore these questions at the lecture series "Cloudy, with a Chance of Digital Showers" on January 19, 27 and February 3. Together with curator and journalist Il Gurn and invited experts, we will examine AI's evolution within culture, investigate human-machine co-authorship, probe AI aesthetics and trace emerging cultural mythologies. Three lectures weave together the history of technology, 20th–21st century art, virtual worlds, commercial AI applications, and philosophical frameworks for the posthuman condition.
