ELISAVA REWRITES THE CULTURAL CODE THROUGH INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elisava\u2019s Master in Applied AI for Arts and Design (MAIAD) is a program on technological intervention for thinkers, designers, and creators. Under the conviction that those who understand <\/span>artificial intelligence are the ones who will shape the<\/span> future of culture, the <\/span>master \u2013 offered in Barcelona (in English) and Madrid (in Spanish) \u2013 frames the algorithm as a raw material fo<\/span>r artistic innovation and critical reflection.<\/span> It is a curriculum designed to train a new kind of creative \u2013 one who dissects, builds, and provokes with intelligent systems to rewrite how culture is produced, distributed, and believed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MAKERS AND THINKERS AT THE EDGE OF THE LIVE PRACTICE<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Built onElisava\u2019s 65-year legacy of engineering and design excellence, the<\/span> Master in Applied AI for Arts and Design (MAIAD) is led by a faculty <\/span>of active professionals and award-winning practitioners working at the forefront of the industry.<\/span>. Directors Pau Garcia and Marta Handenawer from Domestic Data Streamers, alongside Paad\u00edn, <\/span>bring a rigorous, activist sensibility<\/span> to the program\u2019s direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The teaching staff includes award-winning contributors recognized by Ars Electronica, alongside internationally known artists (<\/span>Taller Estampa or<\/span> Mans-O)<\/span>, curators (<\/span>Llu\u00eds Nacenta), and guest lecturers from across multiple countries. This collective of experts guides students through unconventional territories, with modules like <\/span>Writing <\/span>Against Algorithmic Mediation, Resistance and Poetic Dissidence<\/span> (with<\/span> Anne Quito)<\/span>, <\/span>AI & Sculpture <\/span>(with<\/span> Marce Maderios)<\/span>, and <\/span>Hype & AI<\/span> (<\/span>with<\/span> Andreu Belsunces),<\/span> ensuring the curriculum does not resonate with the industry\u2019s radical default optimism or pessimism.<\/span><\/p>\n
