As part of the New Real’s ‘AWEN’ project in 2021, key members of the multidisciplinary creative team got together online to share their thoughts on why and how the project was conceived and created and on its potential to inspire users to look at their surroundings in a new light and think differently about their environment and their place within it.

In this video, we explore the journey of the art commission from start to finish.

Designed to provide transformative AI-fuelled experiences for audiences, and to present works that address key challenges in AI, The New Real’s ‘Uncanny Machines’ project/commission explores how artists can push creative boundaries, how AI can be enriched or challenged by the Arts and the social implications of recent developments in AI.
