The Grid (US/EU), Vikram Chandra (IN/US), Bryan McCann (US), Andrew Piper (CA), M Eifler (US), Clemens J. Setz (AT), Clara Blume (AT/US), Vanessa Chang (US/SG/AU)

How does the algorithmic contour the lyrical?

Jüngste Erfolge ebnen bereits den Weg für vollständig durch Algorithmen erzeugte und gespielte Musik. Aber macht das KI zu einem Künstler?
