This workshop offers an introduction to the basic principles of artificial intelligence from an artistic perspective. Through three 5-hour sessions, you will explore the fundamentals of AI, how it works, and potential uses of this technology for artistic ends, particularly in performance and installation. The course will present an overview of the different creative approaches that involve AI, allowing you to better understand the contemporary artistic landscape that is emerging. You will then be introduced to existing tools that allow you to integrate AI into an artistic practice, either online or using an Arduino microcontroller. The workshop will be an ideal place to exchange ideas on new creative technologies for artists of all disciplines.

**Are you employed by a company with a payroll of $2 million? In addition, will this training be paid for by your employer because you will participate as a part of your job?
According to Services Quebec regulations, people who answer yes to these two questions have access to training, but cannot benefit from Services Quebec ’s subsidized rates. The fee will therefore represent 10% of the total value of the training. In the event of more registrations than the number of places available, priority will be given to artists and cultural workers who meet the profile described by Services Quebec .
