"The Monkey Dance" is not just a music project—it's a didactic concept that combines [[Artificial Intelligence]], music, art, and education into one interdisciplinary experience. Created by students, teachers, and creative minds at the Weihungstalschule Staig as part of their student company Fair-Image.de, this hybrid band harnesses AI to generate critical songs, visuals, and campaigns that are published on all major music platforms. The goal: to use AI fairly and creatively, promoting social messages with impact. | |||

== What's special about The Monkey Dance? == | |||
The Monkey Dance uses AI to support songwriting, beat production, video generation, and cover design. But it’s not about replacing creativity—it’s about amplifying it. Every track revolves around a social theme like [[Fake News]], [[Inequality]], [[Racism]], or [[Consumerism]]. | |||
Notable song titles include: | |||
{{o}} [[Trust Me It's True]] – Fake News & conspiracy theories | |||
{{o}} [[Your Poverty Pisses Me Off]] – inequality & provocation | |||
{{o}} [[Filth Like You]] – hypocrisy in consumer culture | |||
{{o}} [[God Hates You Too]] – religious extremism | |||
{{o}} [[Monkey Dance Party]] – joy and creative chaos | |||
{{BK}} | |||
== AI Fair-Image Challenge == | |||
A key pillar of the project is the nationwide '''AI Fair-Image Challenge'''. Students are invited to generate their own AI-based artworks or songs promoting fairness and submit them to the competition. The best entries are published, often becoming the basis of new [[aiMOOCs]] and open educational resources. | |||
{{BK}} | |||
== Learning through Concept Art == | |||
"The Monkey Dance" connects with the idea of [[Conceptual Art]]—where the concept is more important than the visual or auditory result. Like [[Yoko Ono]] and [[John Lennon]]'s "Give Peace a Chance", the songs of The Monkey Dance act as social performances. The AI component adds another layer: it questions authorship and the human-machine relationship. | |||

The Monkey Dance - Band
Introduction
"The Monkey Dance" is not just a music project—it's a didactic concept that combines Artificial Intelligence, music, art, and education into one interdisciplinary experience. Created by students, teachers, and creative minds at the Weihungstalschule Staig as part of their student company Fair-Image.de, this hybrid band harnesses AI to generate critical songs, visuals, and campaigns that are published on all major music platforms. The goal: to use AI fairly and creatively, promoting social messages with impact.
AI Meets Music and Media Critique
What's special about The Monkey Dance?
The Monkey Dance uses AI to support songwriting, beat production, video generation, and cover design. But it’s not about replacing creativity—it’s about amplifying it. Every track revolves around a social theme like Fake News, Inequality, Racism, or Consumerism.
Notable song titles include:
- Trust Me It's True – Fake News & conspiracy theories
- Your Poverty Pisses Me Off – inequality & provocation
- Filth Like You – hypocrisy in consumer culture
- God Hates You Too – religious extremism
- Monkey Dance Party – joy and creative chaos
AI Fair-Image Challenge
A key pillar of the project is the nationwide AI Fair-Image Challenge. Students are invited to generate their own AI-based artworks or songs promoting fairness and submit them to the competition. The best entries are published, often becoming the basis of new aiMOOCs and open educational resources.
Learning through Concept Art
"The Monkey Dance" connects with the idea of Conceptual Art—where the concept is more important than the visual or auditory result. Like Yoko Ono and John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance", the songs of The Monkey Dance act as social performances. The AI component adds another layer: it questions authorship and the human-machine relationship.
