Art and AI Experimental Workshop

This workshop takes inspiration from plant structures. Through an interdisciplinary approach, participants will explore the connections between traditional art, natural science, and artificial intelligence. Participants will learn the basics of AI-assisted design and use it to develop their ideas into digital models or concept images. They will then apply deconstruction techniques and 3D printing to create experimental sculptural works inspired by plant structures. The workshop encourages participants to integrate these methods into their own creative practice, opening up new possibilities through the interaction of different materials, technologies, and ways of thinking. The workshop is led by two instructors from different fields. Visual artist Tse Yim-on explores visual symbols in popular culture and brings contemporary perspectives to traditional artistic media. Popular science writer on plants, Wong Tin-hang provides a foundation in plant science, helping participants connect artistic ideas with the natural world. Together, they will guide participants to rethink plant forms through the perspectives of art, science, and technology, challenge conventional approaches, and expand their creative vision.
