Creative Industries – IA and Creatività

Artificial intelligence as a creative language

Explore the potential of generative Artificial Intelligence in creative processes through a transdisciplinary workshop combining art, design, music, fashion and visual communication. Lessons alternate theoretical sessions, case studies, practical exercises and group discussion, allowing participants to become familiar with AI tools and develop a design method based on prompt design and the encounter between human imagination and artificial intelligence.

Experimenting with AI

The approach is inclusive, critical and experimentation-oriented: you will work on creating images, narratives, visual and sound concepts, while also exploring topics such as ethics, bias, copyright, sustainability and cultural impacts. Through ongoing feedback and individual and group activities, you will develop an original visual, narrative or transmedia project to present at the end of the course in a shared final session.

The course is open to an intergenerational audience and is aimed at artists, designers, students, communication professionals, illustrators, photographers, educators, digital enthusiasts and anyone who wants to integrate AI into their creative process. It is designed for those who want to explore it not only as a tool, but also as a poetic and conceptual medium capable of expanding the linguistic, aesthetic and narrative possibilities of contemporary art.

No previous technical skills are required. Curiosity, openness to discussion and a willingness to experiment are, however, essential.

At the end of the course, participants who have attended at least 8 of the 10 scheduled lessons will receive a certificate of attendance, which may be used for the possible recognition of 2 CFA academic credits.
