■ The workshop “fivewordsforthefuture”, on Generative Artificial Intelligence, is held at the Academy of


Arts and New Technologies (AANT) in Rome, conducted by Pier Luigi Capucci together with Derrick
de Kerckhove. The event is curated by Gianna Angelini, Scientific Director of AANT’s Scientific
Committee, whose members are Derrick de Kerckhove, Pier Luigi Capucci, Patrizia di Costanzo, Paolo
Granata, and Sabina Minutillo Turtur. The “fivewordsforthefuture” workshop takes its name from the
homonymous project of Noema, born in 2012 and focused on understanding what is the “new”, on
innovation, and on imagining the future. The workshop asks students to try to imagine a possible future
by identifying five key words, ideas, or concepts to describe it, documenting everything with videos.
Through five key words, the future identified by the students is then compared with that described by
two Generative Artificial Intelligence services, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini,
highlighting and discussing the differences.

Noema – Activities 18/07/2024 3


■ The theme that the Fine Arts Academy of Urbino explores in 2022 through lectures, workshops,
collaborations and with the exhibition “Life as Surprize” in collaboration with Noema is: “What Is
Life?”. A very topical issue since it contains some of the contemporary issues and can be interpreted
from different points of view. Myths and religions are concerned about life while in about one century
the medical sciences have almost doubled its duration, but we are not able to define life exhaustively.
In addition to organic life, nature and the living are present in the artifacts that copy their forms,
dynamics and behaviors. Art, as a philosophy of contemporaneity, can make an important contribution
to issues that require new paradigms. The events’ program, in collaboration with Noema:
– Leonardo Caffo, philosopher, “The future of contemporary art and creative disciplines oriented by a
new philosophy”, 8 March.
– Vanessa Vozzo, artist and teacher, “Photosynthetic You”, lecture 24 March morning, workshop 24
March afternoon and 25 March morning and afternoon.
– Adriaan Eeckels (SciArt EU Project), Caterina Benincasa (NaturArchy), Ioannis Vakalis (EC,
Science and Art), Naouma Kourti (EU JRC, Science in Support of Policy), “The European research
project SciArt, the exhibitions' Resonances 'and the' NaturArchy 'call ”, 7 April.

transition at the Great MAXXI in Rome”, 27 April.
