AIxDESIGN x KB: Broncode

✿

Introduction

AIxDESIGN is teaming up with the KB, the National Library of the Netherlands, on an exhibition and program about AI, books & language, open to the public. Long before neural nets, libraries were the machines we built to organize human knowledge. Combining books from the collection with interactive artworks and experiments, the show looks at what AI is made of, what it's making, and how it's shaping how we store, search, and share knowledge.
