ARTificial - The Art of Neuroscience Seminar of 2023

As we move forward into the digital age, AI systems are emerging at a rapid rate, blurring the lines between human creativity and artificial intelligence. In the world of art, AI-generated works are becoming increasingly common, challenging our understanding of what it means to create, appreciate, and value art.

The theme of this year's Art of Neuroscience Seminar, "ARTifical," explores the intersection of art and AI, and the changing view of what the value and creation of art is in this emerging world. We invite artists to submit their works that reflect on this theme, whether they are created by humans, AI, or a combination of both.

There are many popular AI websites and tools that artists can use to create their works. For example, Midjourney, an online tool that uses neural networks to transform photos into surrealistic images, has gained popularity among artists. Another tool, "The Next Rembrandt," is an AI-generated portrait that mimics the style of the Dutch master, and "Portrait of Edmond de Belamy" is an AI-generated painting that was sold at Christie's auction house for $432,500.

While the competition is now closed, we can reflect on the theme of this year's "ARTifical," discussing the intersection of art and AI and the changing view of what the value and creation of art is in this emerging world. The competition provided a platform for artists to showcase their works, whether they were created by humans, AI, or a combination of both, in response to this theme. All the submitted artworks represented a diverse range of perspectives and creative approaches, providing a thought-provoking reflection on the impact of AI on the art world.

Join us for The Art of Neuroscience Seminar and Award Ceremony, where we honor the exceptional achievements of top neuroscientists and artist to showcase the beauty of their groundbreaking work in our exposition, listen to experts in the field for exciting talks and experience the reveal of the 2023 winners of the Art of Neuroscience competition!

Award Ceremony and Seminar will take place in the Singelkerk, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on the 22nd of June. Your tickets includes drinks at the event.
