Welcome to The Bigger Picture, a new initiative that is re-imagining Artificial Intelligence (AI) through innovative perspectives and thought-provoking visuals.

Re-imagining Images of Artificial Intelligence through Art

Explore The Bigger Picture

A collage featuring artworks from The Bigger Picture project. Central text reads 'The Bigger Picture' against a colorful background of overlapping squares. Surrounding this text are various digital and physical art pieces depicting abstract and futuristic interpretations of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Top left shows a human figure among geometric shapes and lines, representing connections; top right displays black-and-white patterns on tall buildings; bottom left includes two sculptures resembling small structures on stilts; bottom center and right use vivid colors and digital distortion effects, creating a modern, tech-inspired aesthetic. The images convey diverse, imaginative perspectives on AI.

This new collection of images moves beyond the realm of science fiction imagery like robots and glowing brains to explore the presence in our day-to-day lives. The artworks reflect how AI quietly, but powerfully shapes our world, focusing on the potential of this technology, while also exploring the ethical challenges, and societal implications.

As part of the Call for Submissions, contributors had the opportunity to submit their work for inclusion in the Better Images of AI library. This library is a growing resource dedicated to creating more accurate and accessible visuals for AI.

Through workshops in Dublin and Cork, The Bigger Picture explored how to portray representations of AI in a way that reflects the role of the technology today. A call for images invited submissions from artists and image-makers that portrays AI’s everyday uses, its complexity & human-ness.
