All Watched Over: New Approaches AI Co-creation, Collaboration and Creativity

This exhibition will explore innovative uses of generative AI with the Faculty of Arts, Design and Media at Birmingham City University. Submissions from staff, students, alumni, and practitioners from further afield will be featured, showcasing practice-based research, creative processes and experimental outcomes in various media.

The exhibition will be the first time an entire exhibition of AI co-created work will be shown at Birmingham City University, and aims to feature diverse perspectives and cutting-edge work at the intersection of AI imagery and artistic practice.

The exhibition will approach AI as a contributor, engaging in a dialogue with it much like practitioners would with any other collaborator and will explore the idea that AI's influence is not passive; it actively shapes the creative process, contributing ideas and insights just as any human participant would in a conversation. This interaction will highlight AI's role not just as a tool but as a partner in the exploration of creativity.
