Round Table: Artificial Intelligence and Art

The aim of this round table is to show how artificial intelligence can become a tool and a technique for creating artistic works. To this end, we aim to highlight the use of AI in the service of art: it becomes a new material with which to create. We will also show how AI itself becomes the subject of artistic creation, in order to question it and our relationship with it. It's also worth pointing out the limits of this use: the question of ownership of the work arises. Some industries are starting to use AI for economic reasons, which could jeopardize the careers of certain artists. Finally, we'll discuss ways of ensuring the long-term use of AI in culture, notably through public oversight. In particular, we will discuss the very recent birth of the Generative Artificial Intelligence Committee and the specific group on the impact of AI in the cultural sector.

Workshop 3: Creating art with AI

How does AI produce art? It takes the algorithm contained in the words and places them in a series of vectors or text-image embeddings. Then, the AI creates an original image from the generic representation presented to it in its datasets, based on the text added by the user creating the artwork. Ele can "take any text and turn it into an image". The AI can also appropriately add slight details, such as shadows and reflections, to give the images an even more realistic appearance. In groups of ten or so, we invite participants to discover AI by creating a work of art. 3 creative areas will be available, using different AIs.

Organizing team: Sarah GAMBOTTI, Jade RENAUDIN, Morgane SAULOUP-PARIS, Nicolas VILORIA

Workshop 4: (UN)KNOWN FUTURES

This workshop invites all participants to engage in individual reflection and exchange with others, taking a step back on how AI could evolve in our societies and in our daily lives, with the help of a collective card game. The objectives are (1) to invite each participant to reflect individually on questions concerning AI, (2) to create exchanges around the impact of AI, (3) to debate on the different points of view concerning AI, (4) to put AI into perspective in more or less near and more or less possible futures.

For the Journées Culturelles et Créatives, the OTACC Chair and the IMPGT Arts Office are joining forces with Marseille's LGBTQIA+ center and 6MIC to present an evening of performances and concerts with inclusion as the common denominator. For the first time, the event will be enlivened by an inclusive and festive charity gala, bringing us together around the societal theme of inclusion.

The program includes

• Introductory speeches by representatives of the Aix-Marseille University presidency, the OTACC chair, the BDA and the LGBTQIA+ center.
• Drag show GUESTS
• Concert by artists supported by 6MIC's MAGMA program
• Aperitif dinner
• LGBTQIA+ exchange and awareness booth

The Marseille LGBTQIA+ Center: Located near the Old Port, the Center was created in 2023 to meet the needs of LGBTQIA+ people for inclusion, support and visibility. Open to all, the Center welcomes and celebrates Marseille's queer community in all its diversity. The center works with relevant Marseilles associations and collectives, as well as professionals, activists and volunteers, to offer resources, workshops, support sessions and accompaniment specific to LGBTQIA+ people.

MAGMA - 6MIC: MAGMA is a creative support program for emerging groups and artists from the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area. Throughout the season, 5 selected groups or artists benefit from group and individual training modules, enabling them to gain a better understanding of the professional and artistic environment, and to understand and master all the stages involved in the development of a group or artist.

Round table: Intergenerational cultural projects: a solution to the immobility of the elderly?

The aim of this round-table discussion is to highlight intergenerational cultural projects that address the problems faced by the elderly (immobility, isolation, etc.). It will be organized into two separate discussion sessions. The first will focus on artists and professionals from the cultural sector who have imagined and/or run projects aimed at the target audience. We'll then give the floor to the main participants, who will talk about their own involvement.

Speakers :
Sandra BRUET, public cultural projects coordinator - EHPAD Roger Duquesne
Natacha COUSIN, Treasurer - Association Echoes
Camille NAUFFRAY, artistic collaborator and arts and care project manager - Centre d'art LBO

Organizing team: Thomas ALEXIS, Orane DEBORD, Eugénie FIZET, Lucie PELISSIER, Arthur SISMONDINI

Workshop 5: Intergenerational goose game

In this workshop, participants will play a revisited game of goose. Each team will be assigned a cultural structure in order to respond to a call for off-site projects for an audience mixing seniors and young teenagers.

Organizing team: Lola ALBARET, Raphaël SCHLAYEN, Charlotte SENAME, Prune VILLARUBIAS

Workshop 6: Imagine the ideal EHPAD cultural workshop

In this participatory workshop, participants will take on the role of animators in health and social care establishments, and learn how to build cultural projects for the elderly. Divided into several groups, participants will imagine a workshop linked to an artistic practice for the residents of an EHPAD, while facing challenges and obstacles that will be imputed to them by cards to be drawn.

Organizing team: Clara DOBY, Coline LECHAT, Elise RAFFIN, Angie RENAUDIN, Jade RENAULT
