Hallucination, glitch, memory, labor: what do these terms mean once machines start generating them? From September 2026, a new international workshop series hosted by Peking University's Computational Art Lab brings together researchers from London, Nanjing, and beyond to rethink artificial intelligence through art and the humanities. Running for twelve months, the series pairs keynote lectures with open dialogue, asking who holds creative agency when humans and machines make work together. #PKUEvents# #PKUArts#

Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Wolf Prize in Chemistry laureate and pioneer of #ATRP#, delivered an inspiring #DaXueTangLecture# at Peking University on June 9, highlighting how controlled radical polymerization enables chemists to design polymers with molecular precision. His talk showed how atom transfer radical polymerization can regulate highly reactive free radicals, creating well-defined macromolecular architectures for smart, self-healing, biomedical, and sustainable materials.
