Ink vs Algorithm is a hands-on workshop where students explore the creative tension between human intuition and artificial intelligence. Using a machine learning tool, students draw images to train, test, and evade models. Through this playful activity, students uncover how AI interprets visuals, contrasts human perception, and reflects on the unique qualities of human creativity. Perfect for budding technologists and curious thinkers, this session challenges students to think critically about the capabilities and limitations of AI while fostering collaboration and imagination.

In the DISTRACTION Tour, Learning Experience Facilitators will introduce students to the key concepts and ideas, facilitate group discussions and activities, and prompt students to think critically about the works. Students will have the opportunity to independently explore the exhibition with a scavenger hunt quiz containing thought-provoking questions and reflective activities before sharing their experience with the group.
