Artificial Imagination

Artificial Imagination
A moving image archive for the age of AI

A growing archive of video works about creativity and artificial intelligence. An open call dedicated to video works exploring the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
Artificial Imagination is an open call for video works exploring the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.

Artists, filmmakers and digital creators are invited to submit moving image works reflecting on how AI is transforming the production of images, ideas and narratives.
Selected works will be presented as part of a video outdoor installation during Prompt Festival in Brescia (IT) on June 19th, 2026.

About the Project
Artificial Imagination brings together artistic perspectives on the growing presence of artificial intelligence in creative processes.
Algorithms, generative tools and machine learning are reshaping visual culture and the way images are produced. Artists are responding through experimentation, critical reflection and new forms of storytelling.
The project gathers these visions into a collective video installation exploring the imaginaries and tensions emerging from the encounter between human creativity and artificial intelligence.

A.I. at Prompt Festival
Prompt is a one day festival about creativity and AI, with talks, workshop and music performances in Brescia, Italy that will take place on June 19th, 2026. Artificial Imagination installation will consist in a big display located in the festival area looping the selected works.

Areas of Exploration
Submitted works may engage with themes such as:
Artificial Creativity — AI-assisted creative processes and human–machine collaboration.
Algorithmic Culture — Platforms, internet aesthetics, algorithms and meme culture.
Language of AI — The terminology and narratives used to describe artificial intelligence.
Data / Systems / Power — Datasets, infrastructures and the political or economic dimensions of AI.
Speculative Futures — Imagined futures shaped by artificial intelligence.
(These themes are indicative rather than restrictive.)
