Re-imagining Imagery of Artificial Intelligence

The Bigger Picture is an Art-Science initiative designed to explore public perceptions and misconceptions about Artificial Intelligence (AI). With a series of workshops, critical analysis, artist submissions and two Science Week 2024 exhibitions, the project offers fresh perspectives and compelling visuals, inviting audiences to rethink AI.

Not as a distant, sci-fi fantasy but as a meaningful part of contemporary life.

The image shows two blurred figures walking past framed abstract art on a gallery wall, suggesting movement and a dynamic environment. The focus is on the text "The Bigger Picture" which is prominently displayed in the center, overlaid with a colorful grid of red, orange, purple, green, and blue squares. In the middle, there is a clack and white image featuring a grid of 35 square tiles with blue, pink, burgundy and orange figures inside the tiles interacting with dark green letters of the phrase "Hi, I am AI” set against a yellow background. The figures are positioned in various poses, as if they are climbing, pushing, or leaning on the letters.

Through hands-on workshops, themes emerged that highlighted the presence of AI in all of our lives, the inherent human-ness of the technology and its complexity on different levels. Artists then responded to these themes in a call for submissions, bringing to life a diverse collection of images that reflect a more grounded and realistic view of AI today.
