Intenții întâmplătoare | From Max Ernst to Artificial Intelligence

Goethe-Institut București is holding the opening of the exhibition "Intenții întâmplătoare" on 12 November 2026 at 18:00, at Pavilion Goethe, Calea Dorobanților 32. The project marks 50 years since the death of Max Ernst and explores the relationship between experiment, chance and artistic intention, from decalcomania to artificial intelligence. The exhibition brings together film works and monotypes by students of the National University of Arts in Bucharest.

At 19:00 a round table follows, "Can artificial intelligence generate the perfect work of art?". The participants are Ana-Maria Negoiță (CESI, University of Bucharest), Radu Uszkai (Bucharest University of Economic Studies and the Centre for Research in Applied Ethics), Mihai Cojocaru (BAIFF) and Anca Boeriu (UNArte). The moderator is Octav Avramescu (Asociația Jumătatea Plină).
