Research project

Electronic Life

Project overview

Commissioned installation ‘Electronic Life’ will be on show at Tate Britain. Electronic Life is a research studio offering public programming, with a focus on working collaboratively with creative practitioners, industry partners, community groups and arts organisations. Devised and led by Professors Ed D'Souza and Sunil Manghani (Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton) and Tom Savage (Imperial College) in partnership with Tate and The Alan Turing Institute. This evening of events at Tate Britain celebrates the collaborative efforts of artists, practitioners, researchers and software engineers dedicated to developing responsible machine learning tools for critical application in museums.

The Museum x Machine x Me programme aims to share some of the practice research insights and findings generated by the 3-year project, Transforming Collections: Reimagining Art, Nation and Heritage, led by the University of the Arts London (UAL) Decolonising Arts Institute and Creative Computing Institute with Tate, and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
