The opening of KUNST. KI. KONTROLLVERLUST (ART. AI. LOSS OF CONTROL, July 31 to August 2, 2025) will be marked by a showcase on Thursday, July 31, from 17:00 CET, titled KUNST. KI. KREATION (ART. AI. CREATION). The exhibition will feature, among other works, interactive and audiovisual pieces by students of Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg’s Animationsinstitut, including the immersive AI installation “LIMBO,” which explores memory in the digital age. Additional graduation projects such as “Sensual,” based on hundreds of hand-painted watercolors, and “Gaïa,” which artistically envisions a planet-body inhabited by humans, address the theme of corporeality in visually powerful ways. The program is complemented by “UTOPIKUM,” a project by the creative lab Tinkertank, which invites visitors to actively co-create visions of the future on the Franck Areal.
On Friday, August 1, from 16:00 CET, the focus shifts to the intersection of art, technology, and entrepreneurship. Under the title KUNST. KI. KOMMERZ (ART. AI. COMMERCE), creatives, start-ups, and interested participants will gather for the “Meet-up der kreativen Intelligenz.“ During an open stage format, students, artists, and start-ups will present their projects. Guided tours of the showcase will follow. Registration for KUNST. KI. KOMMERZ is requested here.
On Saturday, August 2, from 16:00 CET, the event KUNST. KI. KAFFEE (ART. AI. COFFEE) invites visitors to participate and explore. Guided tours of the exhibitions offer deeper insights into the media art projects on display. The groups “Drink & Draw Ludwigsburg” and “Drink & Draw Stuttgart” will gather for drawing sessions and urban sketching in the industrial setting of the venue. An open discussion format titled “Auf einen Kaffee mit der KI“ will provide space to talk about artificial intelligence, the public sphere, and the future – approachable, understandable, and open to diverse perspectives.
The full program with all times and details is available online at www.ludwigsburg.de/art-ai.
The exhibited projects LIMBO, Sensual, Gaïa, and UTOPIKUM will be open to the public on all three days. No registration is required for KUNST. KI. KONTROLLVERLUST, and admission is free.
