Artificial Intelligence and Street Art: Tram Talk

21.06.2019, 4-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.

Tram route 4

For the ‘Researching City Walls’ project, artists Smy and Fritz Boogie talked with robotics expert Wolfram Burgard, professor of autonomous intelligent systems at the University of Freiburg, about robotics, autonomous vehicles and machine learning. This conversation gave rise to the work ‘Ansichtssache’, which translates roughly as ‘a matter of opinion’. ‘Ansichtssache’ now adorns a local tram operated by the Freiburg public transport company. Under the title of ‘Tram Talks’, researchers and artists are holding question and answer sessions on the subject of artificial intelligence (AI) and street art on this tram. Anyone who is interested can find the timetable and track the live location of the tram during the Tram Talk session on the website below: www.nexusexperiments.uni-freiburg.de/stawafo/ki-bahn

At the heart of the ‘Researching City Walls’ project are large-scale murals in the center of Freiburg: each of these murals was created by one street artist and one scientist exchanging ideas and working in tandem. Artist Sare and AI researcher Dr. Yukie Nagai from the University of Tokyo, Japan, will answer questions about the picture they developed together, which Sare is painting on the back of the building at Rosastraße 19. Lectures will be given in English.
