Article 1 – Organization

The CreARTathon is a creative hackathon that combines art, design and digital science organized from 23th to 27th of August 2021 by the Organizers:

  • Inria research Centre of Saclay Ile de France, public scientific and technological body, established by order n° 85-831 of August 2, 1985 as amended, having its registered office at Domaine de Voluceau – Rocquencourt – BP 105 – 78153 Le Chesnay cedex France, represented by its Chairman and CEO, Mr Bruno SPORTISSE and/or Mr. Jean-Yves BERTHOU, Director of the Inria research Centre of Saclay Île – de-France, located Bâtiment Alan Turing – 1 rue Honoré d’Estienne d’Orves – 91120 Palaiseau cedex France,

  • Université Paris Saclay, Public establishment with a scientific and cultural and professional vocation, having its registered office at Immeuble Technologique Entrée B, Route de l’Orme aux Mérisiers 91190 SAINT-AUBIN France, SIRET number 130 026 024 00013 represented by Mrs. Sylvie RETAILLEAU, President of Paris Saclay University,

  • Societies, non-profit association (loi de 1901) located 115/117 rue La Fayette, 75010 Paris, represented by Mr Jérôme Poggi as President. Multidisciplinary teams of five students will work together to design a ‘Creative intelligent interactive artifact’ that creates a true artist-computer partnership.

The CreARTathon is open to Masters or Ph.D. students in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) or the Université Paris-Saclay, as well as students from Paris Art and Design schools. HCI and AI faculty from Inria and the Université Paris-Saclay will teach Master Classes, and each team will be coached by a professional artist. A multi-disciplinary jury will award prizes to the top three teams and all projects will be exhibited at a gallery in Paris in the beginning of September. Enrollment is limited to 40 students and because of the large number of international students, the summer school will be held in English. During the CreARTathon, the Participants must remain in possession of a proof of ID.

Article 2 – Purpose of the CreARTathon

The CreARTathon is a creative hackathon combining art, design and digital science in a Creative Hackathon where multi-disciplinary teams of five students collaborate on the design of a intelligent interactive object. This year’s challenge: Designing a creative, intelligent & interactive artifact for an artist (visual arts, music, sculpture, dance, theater) that creates a true artist-computer partnership. The purpose of the CreARTathon is to:

  • invent creative, intelligent and interactive artefacts offering a true artist-digital partnership,
  • encourage students in AI and HCI to include an artistic perspective in their work,
  • expose art and design students to the new perspectives offered by the combination of AI and HCI technologies.

Article 3 – Conditions of the course of the CreARTathon

All meals and hosting (2 person per room) costs are paid by the Organizers and sponsors.

No other expenditure will be paid. All other expenditures will be at the Participant’s cost (i.e. transportation, single room, additional nights). The Participant renounces to claim any compensation resulting from the costs engaged by him/her for the CreARTathon (travel costs etc). The core summer school will occur during the week of 23-27 August 2021, at the Digiteo building (660) at the Université Paris-Saclay. A more detailed agenda can be found here : https://creartathon.com/schedule.

Nine meeting rooms will be used, 8 for the 5-person student groups and 1 for the visiting artists. In addition, the Participants will have access to a large open working space of over 400 square meters, and access to the FabLab, which offers 3D printing, electronic fabrics, various wearable technologies, interactive printing, Arduinos, etc. The Participants will be trained by FabLab staff, by appointment, on the specific machine(s) relevant to their project and will be able to seek advice as their projects progress.

Université Paris Saclay will only provide the means for the Participants to carry out the goal of the CreARTathon (electricity, WiFi…) but will not be held liable in case of a malfunction.

Université Paris Saclay will provide all information related to the authorized usage of the equipment that is made available to the Participants. The Participants hereby acknowledge that the usage is strictly permitted by Université Paris Saclay as owner of the equipment. The Participants acknowledge that they need to comply with all instruction provided by Université Paris Saclay about usage of the equipment. The Organizers shall take all steps (such as exclusion) if a Participant does not comply with such instruction, and/or if the Participant behaves in an unsafe manner.

Université Paris Saclay shall not be held liable for any improper use of the equipment by the Participants. The Participants shall be responsible for any damage occurred by them, when the equipment is damaged by such usage. Any other equipment shall be brought by the Participants (computer etc). The equipment must comply with electrical installations of the building. One week after the summer school (September 3-5, 2021) each Work will be exhibited at a gallery in Paris that will be open to the public. We will also invite journalists, and faculty and students from the Université Paris-Saclay and the Art and Design schools in Paris. The CreARTathon does not imply any remuneration for the Participants.

Article 4 – Masterclasses

After an initial welcome, the Participant will attend two Master Classes. Master Class 1 will be an introduction to Human-Computer Interaction, with a focus on design methodology from a human perspective and the concept of a human-computer partnership. Master Class 2 will be an introduction to Machine Learning, with a focus on interactive machine learning and how to incorporate the human in the loop. These faculty members currently teach these topics at the Master’s level in the HCI and AI programs at the Université Paris-Saclay.

Each of the four guest artists will then present their work, and will act as ‘clients’ for the groups. Each artist will be responsible for coaching two teams of five Participants each. The guest artists are all both practicing artists and experienced teachers at known art schools. The Participants agree to attend all masterclasses, as it is part of the CreARTathon.
