Artificial Intelligems: Co-Creating More-Than-Human Adornment with Machine Learning

Abstract

Anneleen Swillen will present Artificial Intelligems, an interdisciplinary, fluid collective and platform exploring more-than-human co-creation in a digital culture. Trough a selection of participatory projects, she will share insights from her postdoctoral research prompting imaginative questions about futures adornment, phygital embodiment, and virtual identity. An artistic and speculative exploration at the intersection of jewellery, visual culture, technology, and human-machine creative collaboration.

Anneleen Swillen is a postdoctoral researcher and tutor at PXL-MAD School of Arts and Hasselt University, located in Belgium. Her work revolves around the exploration of jewellery in a phygital culture through research in the arts, education, curation, and writing. In 2020, she founded "Artificial Intelligems" in collaboration with composer and data engineer Greg Scheirlinckx. As a fluid collective, currently working on the intersection of jewellery, graphic design, music, XR-performance, dance, and data science, they aim to connect people, artistic practices, and technologies to explore more-than-human co-creation.
