AI Animated. Compact Seminar – Excursion

This will be a third summer-school type event in the series of AI driven animation. This time, it will be hosted by Vilnius Gediminas Technical University with a planned participation of student-teacher teams from Tampere University of Applied Sciences, FH Köln (KISD), University of Porto and us, the KHM. The focus of this event will be on usage of AI such as Stable Diffusion (SD) and similar in order to create sequences of moving images. As notoriously unpredictable tool, SD presents a challenge but also offers an opportunity in rethinking the role of the author when it comes to artistic control of the form and specifically in shaping cohesive flow of images, adding up to a meaningful narration. In the course of the summer school each team is expected to complete a short project which will be publicly screened in Vilnius.
