Daniel García Andújar: "Artistic Practice in the Era of Artificial Intelligence. From Sempere to Our Days"

November 2, 3, and 4, 2023. Artistic Practice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. From Sempere to Our Days. The workshop, taught by Daniel G. Andújar, is included within the Ros Film Festival (international and online festival of science fiction short films with robots).

This workshop proposes a dynamic intersection between art, science, and technology. Not only will the broad possibilities that emerging technologies offer to the artistic field be explored, but tribute will also be paid to a visionary who crossed these boundaries long before they became a trend: Eusebio Sempere.

Sempere was a pioneer in his time, an artist who ventured into the world of calculation and programming to bring his artistic visions to life. His time at the Computing Center of the University of Madrid in the 1960s positions him as one of the precursors in the experimentation of art and technology. Using computers and algorithms, Sempere explored new forms of expression that challenged the artistic conventions of his era, always from a critical distance and logical prudence in an incipient stage of computer use in art.
