Gummy Industries –  Province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy

Artificial Imagination

Opportunity Description

International Deadline: June 14, 2026 – Artificial Imagination — A growing archive of video works about creativity and artificial intelligence. An open call dedicated to video works exploring the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.

Artists, filmmakers and digital creators are invited to submit moving image works reflecting on how AI is transforming the production of images, ideas and narratives. Selected works will be presented as part of a video installation during Prompt, event taking place in the gardens of the old castle in Brescia (IT) on June 19th, 2026.

About the Project
Artificial Imagination brings together artistic perspectives on the growing presence of artificial intelligence in creative processes.

Algorithms, generative tools and machine learning are reshaping visual culture and the way images are produced. Artists are responding through experimentation, critical reflection and new forms of storytelling.

The project gathers these visions into a collective video installation exploring the imaginaries and tensions emerging from the encounter between human creativity and artificial intelligence.

Area of interests. Submitted works may engage with themes such as:

  • Artificial Creativity:

AI-assisted creative processes and human–machine collaboration.
  • Algorithmic Culture:

Platforms, internet aesthetics, algorithms and meme culture.
  • Language of AI: The terminology and narratives used to describe artificial intelligence.
  • Data / Systems / Power: Datasets, infrastructures and the political or economic dimensions of AI.
  • Speculative Futures: Imagined futures shaped by artificial intelligence. (These themes are indicative rather than restrictive.)

Open Call. We welcome video works that:

  • use AI tools in the creative process.
  • critically reflect on AI systems.
  • explore algorithmic culture and digital imagery.
  • speculate on future relationships between humans and machines.
  • investigate other techno-philosophical approaches.
  • We are particularly interested in works driven by experimentation, visual research or poetic reflection.

Format. Eligible works include:

  • experimental films
  • short visual essays
  • generative or AI-assisted videos
  • hybrid moving image projects
  • shitposting but video
  • Suggested duration:

 30 seconds – 5 minutes

Exhibition
Selected works will be presented in a video loop installation outdoor in the old castle in Brescia (ITA), curated by Super in the context of Prompt, one day festival around AI and creativity powered by Gummy Industries; bringing together different artistic perspectives on artificial intelligence and contemporary image-making.
