Workshop on creation with artificial intelligence given at Tabakalera, the international centre for contemporary culture in San Sebastián, across three consecutive mornings.
SerendipIA approached generative tools through the controlled chance that gives the session its name. Serendipity, the find that turns up while looking for something else, describes fairly well what happens when working with these models, and the workshop started there to take participants from initial curiosity to a practice with judgement behind it.
The format, three two-hour sessions, allowed demonstration and hands-on work to alternate, so that those attending left having tested the tools on their own material rather than having watched them run.
It forms part of Tabakalera’s film and audiovisual programme and of the training strand Artefacto maintains with cultural institutions, aimed at bringing these tools to creators working outside technical environments.
