On this REC episode, artists, researchers and professors Ionat Zurr and Sofian Audry are invited to join us in a conversation about the subject Emergence/y, theme proposed by Hexagram for the international festival Ars Electronica 2021, A New Digital Deal. Discovering each other motivates the dialogue between Zurr and Audry, focusing on their main research aspects: from biological arts to artificial intelligence, from semi-living entities to art at the age of machine learning, from the artist’s role to the function of art regarding the development of Science and Technology Studies (STS).
