Musik als Erlebnis im Zeitalter von künstlicher Intelligenz und kreativen Computern

Kingston University and Durham University (UK), New York University (US), Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, Stuttgart (DE), University of Music and Performing Arts of Vienna (AT), KTH Stockholm (SE)

In diesem Panel werden wir erörtern, wie KI menschliche Kreativität fördern beziehungsweise einschränken kann. Wie kann KI beim Musizieren eingesetzt werden? Sollte KI überhaupt zum Musizieren verwendet werden? Sollte mit KI gemachte Musik einen Warnhinweis tragen? Inwieweit ist KI nur ein Marketinginstrument? Was kann KI zur eigenen kreativen Praxis beigetragen? Was sind die ethischen Fragen im Zusammenhang mit KI beim Musizieren?  Welche potentiellen Gefahren birgt die KI für die Musik (MusikerInnen als auch HörerInnen)? Wie könnten wir Risiken reduzieren?

Journey: Adriatic Garden | aqua_forensic 2.0

Adriatic Garden | aqua_forensic 2.0 connects two places by the Adriatic Sea: Dubrovnik (HR) and Koper (SI) and gives special attention to our commitment to the values of care, compassion, environmental justice, action-taking and cooperation with the Adriatic Sea and its creatures. The project framework is the aqua_forensic, an ongoing art and science research method developed by Robertina Šebjanič (SI) and Gjino Šutić (HR), which sheds light on the presence of invisible anthropogenic chemical pollutants in the water environment.

The “Aqua_Forensic” Exhibitions

Aqua_forensic is an artwork that will be exhibited at various locations during the Ars Electronica 2020: This includes the group exhibition Living Objects at the City Art Gallery in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Data Garden - Kyriaki Goni - Exhibition

​Kyriaki Goni (GR)

Exhibition Tour & Talk Can anyone think of the future of connectivity beyond surveillance? Is it possible for the bond between human and non-human worlds on this planet to be substituted? Can plants, as organisms on which life itself is dependent, contribute to the creation and adoption of new practices for the mediated reality? Kyriaki Goni’s new multimedia installation investigates this set of questions by recounting a fictitious narrative that contains elements of truth. YouTube Premiere of a pre-recorded exhibition tour with artist Kyriaki Goni, followed by a live discussion between artist Kyriaki Goni (GR), Prodromos Tsiavos (GR) Head of Digital & Innovation at Onassis Foundation, and collaborators of the project

DïaloG Livestream

Refik Anadol (TR) and Maurice Benayoun (FR)

DïaloG is an urban media art installation developed by Maurice Benayoun (MoBen/CityU HK) and Refik Anadol: In the public space (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain) two “living” entities face each other. They don’t look like the living beings we know. They don’t speak any language we know. They are aliens, strangers, immigrants. Facing each other they gradually mutate.

Re-Textiles 3D

Ganit Goldstein (IL)

Das Projekt Re-Textiles 3D hat zum Ziel, ein neues Produktionssystem für die Modeindustrie zu entwickeln, das auf einem spezifischen Körperscan unter Verwendung der neuesten Tiefenkamera-Technologie basiert. Das Projekt erforscht digitale Messsysteme, die die genaue Größe bestimmter Personen ohne jegliche menschliche Berührung bestimmen können. Das Projekt verwendet recyceltes Filament, das zu 100 % aus Wasserflaschenabfällen durch ein FDM-3D-Druckverfahren hergestellt wird. Dieses fördert den Umschwung der Produktion in Richtung Kreislaufwirtschaft und nachhaltiger Systeme.
