Strolling around among the trees in the Pedion to Areos public park in central Athens this month, you might come across a northern white rhino. African native, and functionally extinct, it’s most definitely the first and probably the last of its kind in the city, and what’s more important – it’s a projection.
The “You & AI: Through the Algorithmic Lens” exhibition, part of the You and AI Festival presented by the Onassis Stegi, consists of large-scale HD screens, 3D sculptures, and installations accompanied by audio “soundscapes” which activate when visitors approach the works, explore the subject of artificial intelligence.
 
“[The exhibition] consists of 25 works that examine three topics corresponding to three routes through the exhibition. Namely: how we view artificial intelligence, and how it views us; artificial intelligence as a key factor shaping public space, political process, and today’s democracy; and artificial intelligence as a constituent part of – and substitute for – the natural environment,” the Onassis Stegi website states.
For the best experience, download Clio Muse’s app for the exhibition here before your visit. You can also find more information during your visit by scanning the QR codes displayed next to each work.
The festival will also feature online film screenings and conferences. You can find more information about the festival and the artists at the Onassis Stegi website, here.
