HCI and AI faculty from Inria and the Université Paris-Saclay will teach Master Classes from 7th to 8th of July 2022, 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 an art space in ENSCI School (Paris) from 15th to 17th of July 2022.

Enrollment is limited to 40 students and because of the large number of international students, the Master classes 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 an 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

For all the Participants: all meals and hosting (2 persons per room) costs are paid by the Organizers and sponsors from 7th to 14th of July.

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.

Article 4 — Master classes

After an initial welcome, the Participant will attend two Master Classes. Master Class 1, which will take place on day one, 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, which will take place on day two, 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. Other professionals will intervene in the framework of these masterclasses, notably artists and design professionals.

At the end of Master Class 2, a panel discussion on art VS design will take place. This panel discussion will be supervised by the faculty members, coaches and artists.

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.
