The Mouvo Conference brings together a selection of the most fascinating speakers from the global audiovisual culture scene whose work oscillates at the intersection of graphic design, animation, film, and interactive technologies.

The conference will address the autonomous creation of machine learning, freed from human control, currently communicated as artificial intelligence. The pattern of the mechanism itself gradually emerges from the increasingly saturated nebula of images. Restrictions preventing action against the interests of creators can be bypassed, and the mechanism thus becomes a tool for unpredictable intentions.

The conference will host a panel on AI and machine learning, facilitating a smooth continuation of the discussion from Mouvo 2023. The panel discussion will be moderated by Vit Zemcik and feature guests such as Moritz Schwind (Nuremberg Tech professor, Entagma) and Tomáš Hříbek (PhD from the Prague Institute of Philosophy).

Where: Technology Centre of the UMPRUM building at Mikulandská, Prague
When: March 1-2, 2024
