Correlations 2024
Forum for AI in Art and Design
The Correlations Forum is an interdisciplinary symposium that unites artists, designers, experts, and curious minds to explore the evolving roles of Artificial Intelligence and robotics in art and design. Now in its second year, Correlations fosters critical reflection, knowledge exchange, and skill-building at Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach.
The forum examines how AI and robotics are reshaping concepts like creativity, authorship, and responsibility, as well as the cultural and ethical impacts of AI infrastructures and algorithms. Over three days, participants will engage with these topics through lectures, panel discussions, workshops, performances, and an exhibition. The event positions AI as both a tool and a creative medium, uncovering challenges and opportunities for artistic practices.
Since 2022, HfG Offenbach’s AI and Robotics Labs, led by Prof. Alex Oppermann, have supported artistic research with cutting-edge resources. As the only German art school to receive both national and state AI funding, HfG provides an innovative space for collaboration between artists, designers, and AI researchers. The AI Lab offers prototyping tools for cross-disciplinary projects, while the Robotics Lab supports physical computing and robotic experimentation with advanced technology like 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotic arms.
The Correlations Forum is hosted by KITeGG, a four-year initiative on AI in art and design. This is the sixth in a series of eight seasonal forums, with the next planned for spring 2025 at Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd. The Correlations Forum is organized by HfG Offenbach’s Department of Art alongside its AI and Robotics Labs. The exhibition presents works by students from the Offenbach University of Art and Design and the KITeGG partner universities, in which these themes are addressed. On display are video works, interactive installations, books, generated images and drawings as well as performances.
Exhibiting Artists: Elisa Deutloff, Ana Duarte, Fabiana Friedländer, Matthias Grund, Jana Margarethe Hartmann, j00n, Axelle Julien, Ava Leandra Kleber, Seongsin Lee, Ilya Martynov, Rahel Pabst, Soyeon Park, Elise Pixel, Lilian C. Scheuer, Iana Vydrina, Dzennifer, and others.
