Lecture Series AICA: Performing Arts / Visual Arts - Ivonne Thein

In her lecture, she will give an insight into her work with AI-based systems using the example of three multidisciplinary projects that have been created in the last two years.
Ivonne Thein (Berlin) is a multidisciplinary artist who works with the media of video, sculpture, performance, photography and mixed-media installations. In her practice, she reflects on the current body images of a digital culture that is fundamentally changing through extensive technologization. Based on stock photography, she started a collaboration with AI systems to explore the transformation of the physical body and its virtual representations in the visual culture of our time. Her works have been shown in international exhibitions, including at the Center Pompidou Paris, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Lentos Linz and CO Berlin.

The lecture series of the digitization college »Artificial Intelligence in Culture and Arts« (AICA) aims to provide an overview of current projects in the field of AI in the arts. In three thematic blocks, speakers will present their own artistic works, pilot projects, business ideas and research projects. AICA is a cooperation project between the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München (HMTM) and the Hochschule München (HM), funded by the Bayerische Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst and coordinated by the Bayerische Forschungsinstitut für digitale Transformation (bidt).
The aim is to equip students at HMTM and HM with skills that enable them to actively shape AI-based processes in their own artistic and creative projects and to work together in interdisciplinary teams.
