Artificial Imagination

Artificial Imagination is an open call for video works exploring the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Artists, filmmakers and digital creators are invited to submit moving image works that reflect on how AI is transforming the production of images, ideas and narratives.

Selected works will be presented as part of a collective video loop installation outdoors in the gardens of the old castle in Brescia, Italy, as part of Prompt — a one-day festival around AI and creativity, taking place on 19 June 2026.

Themes of interest include

• Artificial creativity: AI-assisted 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 — other techno-philosophical approaches are welcome.

Eligible formats include

• Experimental films
• Short visual essays
• Generative or AI-assisted videos
• Hybrid moving image projects
• Shitposting, but video

Suggested duration: 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

The curators are particularly interested in works driven by experimentation, visual research or poetic reflection. There is no entry fee. To apply, you'll need to provide your author information, the title and a link to your video, and a short description of the work and its relation to AI.
