Starting from the sign as a foundational element of the creative act—its becoming meaning, writing, and structure—scholars from different disciplines, ranging from art history to design, from philosophy to mathematics, and from the natural sciences to astronomy, will explore AI as a creative tool and an interpretative support. From graphic arts to the creative industries, from the reconstruction and enhancement of cultural heritage to the forms and sounds of the universe, significant and compelling international case studies will be presented and discussed.
Digital signs, therefore, become a space for comparison and dialogue among different fields of knowledge, fostering new research and educational perspectives.
Photoconsortium’s honorary member Museum of Graphic Arts (Pisa) is proud to host the Digital Signs international symposium on October 1st, where experts in different fields and from all over the world – including Photoconsortium’s Vice President Antonella Fresa – will participate to provide insights and foster discussions through three roundtables on AI, creativity, the Arts, Cultural Heritage and more.
The event is open and no booking is required.
