ScientiFikART πŸŽ¨πŸ”¬

We’re doing something a little different this time β€” welcome to ScientiFikART! 🎨

Instead of our usual Friday science format, we’re hosting a Science & Art showcase. Bring a piece that connects β€” loosely or tightly β€” to science, research, nature, tech, data, the academic life, or simply the way you see the world.

How it works: each participant presents their piece for a few minutes, and the audience votes for their favorite at the end. Most presentations will receive a prize! πŸ† All levels of artistic experience are welcome β€” this is about expression, not expertise.

The event is open to everyone. 🌍

πŸ“… Deadline to submit: April 15th β€” Sign up here!

Participants may be featured on our website and Instagram. πŸ“Έ

Title Image of Talk The recommended city: AI, democracy, and urban visibility
2026-04-10 ✨ Open to juniors* ✨ Ingrid Campo-Ruiz

How does AI shape the city before we even arrive in it? Generative AI is becoming part of how people discover places and decide what matters in a city. What AI makes visible can gain attention and value. What stays in the background can become easier to overlook. These shifts are already influencing how cities are valued and approached, reshaping democracy, diversity, and social equality along the way. In this talk, Ingrid Campo-Ruiz explores how AI is reshaping how people understand cities and public space. Drawing on research in architecture and AI, she examines how AI-generated recommendations and images influence what people see as worth visiting and protecting. Bringing together architecture, responsible AI, and social justice, this talk invites the audience to see AI in a new way: as a force already editing the city, its meanings, and its futures.


*Junior audience is a term that encompasses undergraduate, master's, and PhD students, as well as postdocs.
