SAAI Factory is an art project initiated by the Hamburg-based artist Christoph Faulhaber. The performer, filmmaker, and author is known for his surprising, bold, and mind-boggling projects that address socially relevant issues and institutional critique.

In 2021, SAAI Factory conducted a symposium, a workshop program and an international interdisciplinary hackathon. The presentation of SAAI Factory is a comprehensive collaborative approach presenting the whole ecosystem: the award winners, selected projects from the competition, accompanied by works from associated members, partners and collaborators. The exhibition is showcasing artworks along the intersection of Art and AI enabling to view the interactive human-machine-process. While questioning “art” as a merely human product SAAI is offering an act of rethinking, rewriting, reorienting.
