A discovery guide for Ukraine

“A discovery guide for recovery” – a project co-funded by Creative Europe – has just launched an open call for six international artists (including two Ukrainians) interested in co-designing with Ukrainian communities a “non-touristic” guidebook on the present and future of Ukraine.  Applicants are called to design unconventional tours to discover the Ukrainian region of Bakota, in Western Ukraine, by involving the inhabitants in a process of recovering memories of the past, raising awareness on opportunities and problems of the present, foreseeing possible future scenarios.

Story system

Story System is a two-day masterclass and workshop aimed at artists interested in developing systems for creative writing using AI, run by London-based artist duo dmstfctn. Taking their upcoming work focused on Commedia dell'Arte and AI as a case study, as well as materials from local museum archives, dmstfctn will demonstrate different approaches to create "story systems" that use AI and Large Language Models to write scripts, dialogues, scenarios, etc. Across the two days, participants will work individually or together to come up with their own "story system", and with support from dmstfctn they will produce a piece of writing.

The pieces applicants send in a digital format will be printed and pasted up on the CHEAP On Board circuit of bulletin boards in downtown Bologna.
