Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are among the most important current scientific topics with an enormous potential and importance for our future. Their key methods, their current research and their scope and implications for society have to be explored in an open, participatory and interdisciplinary way, involving both experts and the general public, in order to commonly identify solutions for our future.
We, at IMAGINARY, decided to dedicate a big part of our ressources to start and implement projects in the field of “AI communication / outreach / engagement”. Our vision is to setup an open source ecosystem to enable exchange and knowledge transfer on AI and ML in four main sections:
AI knowledge transfer: communication of current algorithms, methods, state of the art, research.
AI applications: showcase of start-ups, initiatives and projects with applications.
AI creativity: presenting new forms of interaction and possibilities with AI.
AI vision and society: discussions and exchange on AI’s future role and impact.
In a first phase, we developed a series of projects and created a network of partners. The projects include:
We will share our current list of partners soon and will keep you updated on the launch of our “AI initiatives”.

IMAGINARY has launched a new educational and artistic format called “MathLapse” to highlight the link between mathematics and real-world phenomena. The name MathLapse (ML) is inspired by the timelapse-technique in physics: By re-scaling time, phenomena are visualized which we cannot observe directly.
A ML is short, simple, self-contained, creative and...Read more

Snapshots are short, easy to understand articles on recent topics of mathematical research. They explain mathematical problems and ideas in an accessible and understandable way, and provide exciting insights into current topics of the mathematical community for everyone who is interested in modern mathematics.
The snapshots are all written by real experts in their fields:
