am Kulturforum, 10785 Berlin

This event is taking place at Berlin Art Week Garten at Gemäldegalerie

noon—12.45pm Artist Talk  
What Happens When AI Becomes Our Companion? 
Speakers: Theresa Reiwer (Artist), Omsk Social Club (Artist) 
Moderator: Kimberly Bradley  

Theresa Reiwer and Omsk Social Club explore artificial intelligence as a companion rather than simply a tool. Reiwer’s Internet Explorer takes audiences through the promises and power structures of the internet, guided by a speculative AI. Omsk Social Club similarly explores AI a social presence and companion. What happens when AI becomes something we live with, talk to, and form relationships with? 

1—1.45pm Artist Talk 
In Conversation: Ana María Caballero: From Words to Worlds 
Moderator: Kimberly Bradley 

Ana María Caballero moves between poetry, sculpture, performance, and generative AI, exploring what happens when written words are materialized via visual languages. In this artist talk, she discusses how emerging technologies are transforming her practice, opening up new forms of storytelling, authorship, and imagination. At the end, she’ll read a few poems from her new and seventh book, Material. 

2—2.15pm Lecture 
Creativity and AI by Christoph Niemann 

2.30—4pm Panel 
The Art World After AI  
Speakers: Laura Attanasio (Vice President of Pace Gallery), Mat Dryhurst (Artist), Karen Archey (Head of the Curatorial Department of Kunstsammlung Nordrhein Westfalen, Düsseldorf), and Paul Feigelfeld (Professor of Media Theory, Mozarteum University Salzburg) 
Moderator: Anika Meier 

After the internet fundamentally reshaped contemporary culture, AI marks another shift. From artistic practice to institutions and the market, how is the art world responding? What is changing, what remains, and what can we learn from previous technological transformations? And what happens when technological power increasingly becomes political power?
