Gen AI on the Fly Competition
Copyright, Bias, Singularity...Generative AI has sparked heated debates, especially in academic circles. Yet, its rapid speed and creative potential are widely embraced.
At TU Delft, we welcome this generative spirit and the opportunities it brings to our community as we welcome to campus the natives of Gen AI, the generation of generative AI. Join the TU Delft Library in revealing and celebrating the advantages AI has brought to academics and culture with a juried exhibition of the best of Gen AI on campus.

Gen AI on the Fly Exhibition & programme
17 October – 9 January
The Gen AI on the Fly exhibition will showcase the TU Delft campus community submissions and the winners of the competition as well as explore generation (both with and without AI) and its speed through the works of two pairs of art tech collaborators:
- Jeroen van der Most & Peter van der Putten will present their environmentally provocative piece, Letters from Nature, which uses Gen AI to pen climate change activist letters from the POV of the planet.
- (28 Nov) Laurent Mignonneau & Christa Sommerer will showcase their on-the-fly (literally) generated flocking behaviours in their video installations, People on the Fly and Portrait on the Fly.
The Gen AI on the Fly programme events will also highlight the positive societal impacts of Generative AI and the speed of advancement, while not forgetting to expose opportunities to engineer and apply all technology critically.
