Scholars naturally have hobbies and passion projects outside their work, and so several Ukrainian organisations soon popped up in Luxembourg. One of these was the Berehyni dance group, led by choreographer Yurii Skobel, who formerly taught at a dance academy in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Berehyni dancers purchased most of their own costumes, apart from the blouses. \u201cA Ukrainian embroidered blouse for dancing, festivities, even daily life, is a very expensive piece of clothing because of the number of hours someone has to put in to produce it,\u201d Ganschow explains. \u201cEven if you\u2019re using an embroidery machine, it still takes a lot of hours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some time, Berehyni borrowed blouses from Ukraine and then washed, ironed and returned them after performances \u2013 creating a number of logistical and financial challenges, given that Berehyni likes to perform for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"thinkering-grant-opens-new-doors\"\n    >\nThinkering Grant opens new doors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ganschow and her fellow C\u00b2DH researcher, Kateryna Zakharchuk, both of whom are dancers in the group, decided to set their minds to the problem and successfully applied for the C\u00b2DH Thinkering Grant, designed to promote experimentation with digital tools and methods. The pair were curious as to whether AI could design an embroidery pattern for their blouses which could then be programmed into an embroidery machine, and so the VYSH (short for <em>vyshyvanka<\/em>, the Ukrainian word for this style of embroidered top) project kicked off in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/dance_group_berehyni_web.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/dance_group_berehyni_web-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/03\/dance_group_berehyni_web.jpg 675w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 2\/3; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>\u201cOur creative and academic challenge was to define what should be on the blouse and how to communicate this to AI,\u201d Ganschow explains. Back then, she admits, they thought using AI would be as simple as searching with keywords on Google, but this wasn\u2019t the case. The team tested two platforms, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. Although both produced beautiful image outputs, they soon realised that Midjourney would be better tailored to what they needed, as it provided \u201ccleaner, detailed, more realistic\u201d results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they wanted something that looked historically Ukrainian, they first had to define what they meant by \u201chistoric\u201d and \u201cUkrainian\u201d. As Ganschow says, \u201cEspecially with a hand-crafted object, you first have to define the historical epoch. The further back in time you go, the further it will be from today\u2019s understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each era had its own traditions and styles when it came to fabrics and colouring methods. Furthermore, the definition of the territory of Ukraine has changed over the years, and Soviet and neighbouring country influences have had an impact on culture. There were further considerations about the fact that different socio-economic classes could afford different materials or patterns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The team also considered taking typical patterns in each of the 25 regions of Ukraine to determine embroidery features they had in common, but Ganschow says this turned out to be \u201ca disaster. The merging process was not controllable back then with our prompts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While choreographer Skobel respected the discourse around historical accuracy, Ukrainian identity and inclusion, at one point he told them he just wanted something aligned with the tradition of on-stage dance costumes, which needed to be flashy enough to be visible from the farthest seats in the venue and should feature traditional white blouses with poppy flowers. \u201cThat\u2019s the beauty of interdisciplinarity,\u201d Ganschow adds. \u201cYou can always double check your ideas because someone else will have a different background, priorities, knowledge and motivations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quote-people\">\n    <div class=\"quote-people\" role=\"group\">\n        <figure class=\"quote-people__body\">\n            <blockquote class=\"quote-people__blockquote\">\n    <span class=\"quote-people__quote\">\u201f<\/span>\n    That\u2019s the beauty of interdisciplinarity.

The design was sent to LESIA, an embroidery company in Ukraine, which helped deconstruct the pattern into different elements and then used Embroidery-Studio to convert it so that it could be read by the embroidery machine. The team then received a 3D simulation of the blouse and, happy with the results, ordered 14 blouses for the dance group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"other-ai-considerations\"\n    >\nOther AI considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At one point, a dancer in the group pointed out that similar blouses with poppy patterns were appearing on Ukrainian shopping sites, with different colour and fabric options. And so, in a sense, the blouse has now also become a part of modern Ukrainian culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ganschow says that the team learned a lot more about AI than she had anticipated at the outset of the VYSH project.\u201cAI won\u2019t produce something better than what\u2019s in your mind, but it may be that what\u2019s in your mind cannot be communicated to the machine,\u201d she says. \u201cIf we can\u2019t describe what we want, it won\u2019t give us the expected results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quote-people\">\n    <div class=\"quote-people\" role=\"group\">\n        <figure class=\"quote-people__body\">\n            <blockquote class=\"quote-people__blockquote\">\n    <span class=\"quote-people__quote\">\u201f<\/span>\n    \u201cCritical thinking is more important than ever before because only a human can decide which task to give to AI, and you will still need a human to evaluate the results delivered by it\u201d\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper quote-people__figcaption\">\n<p class=\"quote-people__author wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Inna Ganschow<\/p><\/div>\n        <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<p>Ganschow is no stranger to using digital tools and methods in her research. Her most recent book, <em>Keiner weinte, es gab keine Tr\u00e4nen mehr (No Tears Left to Cry)<\/em>, won the non-fiction category of the L\u00ebtzebuerger Buchpr\u00e4is (Luxembourg Book Prize) in 2025. And, although she would never outsource her work or writing to AI, she sees the technology as \u201ca very gifted child\u201d, one that can be trusted with certain tasks, but whose output must always be double-checked and verified by the task giver. She thinks AI should be seen as an assistant, not a teacher, and that it is crucial to consult other sources as well. \u201cYou have to read, to analyse,\u201d she adds. \u201cCritical thinking is more important than ever before because only a human can decide which task to give to AI, and you will still need a human to evaluate the results delivered by it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-48
