UNE SMART Region Incubator is proud to be partnering with New England Regional Art Museum to share Experimenta with our region.

The beginning of a great program that will complement the exhibition begins at the opening event, ‘Entangled Realities - Human Thinking and Machine Thinking'.

Experimenta alumni artist and researcher Professor Anna Marie Munster, researcher Aaron Driver (University of New England), and UNE SRI founder Danielle Morton (Zondii) will lead a discussion on the creative opportunities and social implications of artificial intelligence.

"How can and should two different intelligences meet?

The panel will discuss the current uses and limitations of AI in the arts and sciences. They will also look at the opportunities and challenges on the horizon.

The event will be hosted by Experimenta Life Forms Curators Jonathan Parsons and Lubi Thomas, who will chair the discussion and provide an introduction that locates the subject of artificial intelligence within the broader themes examined within Experimenta Life Forms. The opening reception for Experimenta Life Forms will be held at the conclusion of the discussion."
