Artificial Imagination

Description

Artificial Imagination
A moving image archive for the age of AI
A growing archive of video works about creativity and artificial intelligence. An open call dedicated to video works exploring the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
Artificial Imagination is an open call for video works exploring the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
Artists, filmmakers and digital creators are invited to submit moving image works reflecting on how AI is transforming the production of images, ideas and narratives.
Selected works will be presented as part of a video outdoor installation during Prompt Festival in Brescia (IT) on June 19th, 2026.

About the Project
Artificial Imagination brings together artistic perspectives on the growing presence of artificial intelligence in creative processes.
Algorithms, generative tools and machine learning are reshaping visual culture and the way images are produced. Artists are responding through experimentation, critical reflection and new forms of storytelling.
The project gathers these visions into a collective video installation exploring the imaginaries and tensions emerging from the encounter between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
