Pilar Rosado is an artist and researcher whose practice explores the impact of artificial intelligence on creative processes and involves the application of machine learning technologies to the revision of collective visual memory and artificial creativity. She holds a doctorate in Fine Arts and a degree in Biology. She combines her artistic career with research and teaching as a lecturer in the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, in the framework of the Serra Húnter programme, being a member of various R&amp;D projects.

We will review the Déjà-vu, Beautiful Agony, La Petit Mort, and Mnemosyne 2.0 projects that apply deep learning technologies to large image collections. Now, the camera and the human eye are being replaced by algorithms and artificial intelligence. It is necessary to think once again about the role that pictures and artistic heritage have played in building our sensibility. The artist&#8217;s notion is questioned. We find out that in those algorithmic processes, the most interesting things are the learning process itself, the failed trials, the intermediate tests, the technological unconscious, which arises from accidents, and the images we build as a collective.

After working as a freelance designer &amp; digital producer, in a studio (Soleil Noir) or with an advertiser (EMI Music), Adrien PIN co-founded the Digital Studio &#8220;Merci-Michel&#8221; at the end of 2012, with Antoine Ménard &amp; Pierre Hagège. Their vision: to offer an innovative approach to digital marketing, mixing interaction design, storytelling and creative technologies. Merci-Michel defines itself today as a &#8220;Digital Gamification Studio&#8221;, with an internationally recognised expertise and more than 130 awards won to date.

&#8220;Coastal World&#8221; is a gamified 3D web platform, created for the American bank Coastal Community Bank, in order to communicate its partnerships with innovative fintechs and neo-banks. Through this case study, we will present the behind-the-scenes of this production, from the briefing to the design and manufacturing stages, both at the creative and technical levels. More broadly, we want to show how gamification can bring value to marketing and digital communication issues.

by Afrofuturism and dance, this presentation will encourage building community 
and rethinking space and identity.
