Exhibition "Art (about) AI"

How does artificial intelligence affect the field of art? Visitors to the exhibition have the opportunity not only to admire the works of PJATK Gdańsk Graphics students, but also to explore the subject of artificial intelligence and its impact on contemporary culture and art. The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the changing nature of art and the growing role of technology in its creation and reception. It also reflects the involvement of young artists in dialogue with the latest scientific and technological developments. Did this description encourage you? It was created with the help of artificial intelligence, but the exhibition is prepared by WE 🙂

Artificial Intelligence in Photography

Will AI do away with the photography profession? What will photography become if it is no longer a reflection of reality?
...or maybe it never was? Various manipulation techniques have been used for decades - and AI has joined them. And much earlier than you think!
During this lecture you will learn how this technology has been used by photographers and graphic designers for years and how it affects the approach to this field of art. We also invite you to actively discuss, ask questions and share your perspective.

Workshop: Concept Art of fantasy characters - first steps

Do you have an idea for an original character, but visualizing it keeps you up at night? Or maybe you want to see what it's like to be a professional concept artist and bring a character to life based on someone else's description? You will learn the rules of the world of games, film or comics. You will learn how designing the appearance of a character can communicate his role, archetype or abilities.

Workshop: Creating a "Visual Novel" Game

At the workshop we will create a prototype of a Visual Novel, or graphic novel type game. We will learn the basic operation of the Ren'Py engine used to create this type of game. To create graphics we will learn to use the basic functions of the Adobe package (Illustrator, Photoshop). The game created during the workshop will be able to be opened on any computer with Windows or Android. The workshop aims to initiate independent work on your own Visual Novel game and show that programming your own game does not have to be difficult and complicated.

The workshop is designed for anyone over the age of 16. Especially for those with no previous programming experience.

For the workshop you can bring on an external disk your own graphic objects for use in the game (characters, backgrounds). If you don't have them, we will learn how to create them or use ready-made, free objects from the Internet.

Computers, Wacom graphics tablets, Ren'Py software and Adobe suite will be available during the workshop. Registration applies.
