The Bakery's Living Storybook

What a finished project shows

AI ArtUniversity · Ages 18–24

Make: A polished work, or a working generative or interactive piece that responds to its audience, changes over time or lets people explore.

AI’s job: AI is a designed part of how the work is made or behaves. You explain the pipeline: what goes in, what the AI does and what you control.

Shows:

  • At least 3 versions, with the reason for each change.
  • An audience test built on a question you set beforehand, with 5 or more anonymous viewers, and what you changed after it.
  • An artist's statement of 300 words or fewer on whose view the AI's output reflects and what you corrected, plus a credits-and-rights table.
  • A process log with at least 5 dated entries, a short intro and your project or a demo judges can open.

Finalists on stage: 10 min talk + 3 min Q&A.

A summary: if the two ever differ, your challenge is what counts.
