Welcome to the website of the program Creating with AI run by ENSAPC & ESSEC.

Convenors: Jeff Guess & Guillaume Chevillon

This course is an experimental joint program that brings together students from Ecole des Arts de Cergy (ENSAPC) and ESSEC Business School who learn to work together and produce a joint piece of their choice under the guidance of an artist in residence. 

Defining the type and purpose of this outcome is one of the objectives of the course, producing it and exhibiting it is another.

The principle of the course is to bring together students from backgrounds as varied as possible with different interests. We explore the tools of Generative Artificial Intelligence for the production, so we do not require technical skills a priori. Yet, since we use AI in the course, you must be happy to explore new software/tools.

The objective of the course is to produce an art piece that will be presented or performed in various art venues or festivals. 

In 2023/24, students produced Sands of Self, an immersive game using GenAI under the supervision of artist Mounir Ayache. It was shown at the Ygrec art center in Aubervilliers as well as in the POUSH Nord-est exhibition and the Fuzhou Museum of Art & Design. 

In 2024/25, students performed mira•anemo•ia•polis at Le Bal as part of the festival La Fabrique du Regard #3. This is a game designed under the supervision of two artists, Nicolas Gourault & Elouan Le Bars.
