About the event
Ever wondered how an artist can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create art? Join artist Kapilan Naidu and SAM curator Kenneth Tay in this talk as they walk you through the making of the artwork Synthetic Visions of a Future Past (Jurong Dreaming). Learn how the artist uses AI and machine learning to create generative art based on data collected from past and present residents of Jurong. The artwork is on show at Science Centre Singapore from 1 Jun–10 Sep 2023.
A Date with SAM is part of the programming for Art in the Commons: Data Visualising Jurong, SAM’s collaboration with Science Centre Singapore to develop community-based participatory art programmes within the Jurong district. The initiative is supported by Tote Board.
This programme is free, by registration (Admission fee to Science Centre Singapore applies)
About the organizer
Singapore Art Museum opened in 1996 as the first art museum in Singapore located in the cultural district of Singapore. Known as SAM, the museum presents contemporary art from a Southeast Asian perspective for artists, art lovers and the art curious in multiple venues across the island, including a new venue in the historic port area of Tanjong Pagar. The museum is building one of the world's most important public collections of Southeast Asian contemporary art, with the aim of connecting the art and the artists to the public and future generations through exhibitions and programmes. SAM is working towards a humane and sustainable future by committing to responsible practices within its processes.
