Intervention exhibition “Pumped AI”

Dear friends, we invite you to visit the AI-powered exhibition and intervention.

We have probably all seen posts on social media generated by artificial intelligence. But what dangers can such content pose, what can it be used for, and what harm can it cause? It is extremely important to know this today.

This exhibition focuses on the impact that artificial intelligence has on the creation, distribution, and perception of information. With the help of interactive posters and books with AI-generated images, visitors will have the opportunity to comprehend the complex and relevant issues related to this topic.

“AI Pumped” is complemented by the new Data Detox Kit, a guide to AI that provides practical advice on how to respond to these challenges in online life.

The exhibition was created by Tactical Tech in cooperation with DensityDesign Lab at Politecnico di Milano and IFLA – International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions with the support of the European Media & Information Fund, managed by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Opening of the exhibition “War through the eyes of a Ukrainian artist”

We are pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition of graphic works by Volodymyr Rebrov “War through the eyes of a Ukrainian artist”!

The graphic works presented at the exhibition are a deep personal experience of our dramatic present. Previously, the artist’s work was bright and colorful. But during the full-scale war, Volodymyr Rebrov began to draw only with a pencil, and used only yellow and blue as colors.

Today, these works, which depict the strength, unity, pain, bravery, patriotism and hope of Ukrainians, support and inspire people in Ukraine and abroad.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Also, after the opening of the exhibition, we invite you to join the preparation of the “silent” action “Angels of Memory”, we will cut out figures of paper angels. On February 20, after the official commemoration, the participants will hang these paper angels next to the monument to the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred.
