The international conference “Daemons in the Machine. Anticipating Artificial Intelligence” preceded the exhibition “Daemons in the Machine” which took place in 2018 at MMOMA (Moscow).
The goal of the conference is to create a live platform for international interdisciplinary dialogue between contemporary artists, scientists, philosophers, curators and art historians.
The main focus of the conference concerns study and application of leading-edge technologies in the area of machine learning and work with artificial intelligence in the field of contemporary art, and the subsequent representation of the art in museums.
