AI
Urbanism Beyond Cognition
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
Developed by Research Cluster 14, the projects showcase how data allows designers to expand their remit by design at the scale of a country or how AI can give agency to non-human ecological and robotic actors.
Automated Architecture Labs HUB
The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)
AUAR Labs is the research laboratory co-directed by Mollie Claypool, Manuel Jimenez Garcia and Gilles Retsin at The Bartlett School of Architecture, previously known as Design Computation Lab. As part of AUAR Labs co-directors run the studio Research Cluster 4 (RC4) in MArch Architectural Design at The Bartlett focused on automated housing. The work of RC4 believes in the agency of architecture for change. Automation is not only about robots – it is first and foremost a design project.
Symposium “Perspektiven politischer Bildung”
Arbeiterkammer OÖ (AT), Pädagogische Hochschule OÖ (AT)
Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) bzw. Artificial Intelligence (AI) ist allgegenwärtig, ohne dass wir sie immer bewusst wahrnehmen. Sie erleichtert uns schon viele Jahre den Alltag, wenn beispielsweise das Handy mittels Gesichtserkennung entsperrt wird oder uns individuelle Werbung durch das Dickicht des Internets steuert. KI kann uns Menschen manipulieren.
AI x Music Festival: Bot Bop Musikalisches Gestalten und Innovation mit AI
Andrew Claes (BE) and Dago Sondervan (NL)
Musical phrases are fed in real-time to a live coded machine learning model. The emerging virtual agent reacts and is again reacted to, creating an organic feedback loop. Utilising improvisational, instant composing and algorithmic musical techniques, listen to the duo becoming a trio during the course of this performance.
Transculturalism: The Space in Between
Amelia Jones, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Behnaz Farahi
In this panel discussion Amelia Jones (USC); Krzysztof Wodiczko (Harvard GSD), Behnaz Farahi (CSULB) are discussing "Transculturalism: The Space in Between". As utopian fantasies of "global" interconnectedness fade on relation to a global pandemic and burgeoning nationalisms, it is important to develop strategies to foster a sense of inclusion and overcome a culture of exclusion. This panel discussion addresses what role might art and design play to maintain a sense of transculturalism and how they might allow us to see things differently.
Panel: Surveillance, Gaze and Ways of Seeing
Lauren McCarthy, Memo Akten, Behnaz Farahi
In this panel discussion, Behnaz Farahi, Lauren Lee Carthy and Memo Akten are discussing the notion of "gaze", "ways of seeing" and "surveillance" in the context of this group exhibition.
Cellular Seeds – Inexorable futures
Alejandra Marinaro (AR)
The Latinamerican Bioarte Lab (LatBioLab) explores more than 12 years of Bioart in Argentina. From ‘The Biosphere Project‘, Joaquín Fargas (AR), a simple way to show the world ecosytem, until ‘Colony‘, Darío Sacco (AR) that connects technology with biology and ‘Cellular Seeds - Inexorable Futures‘, Aleandra Marinaro (AR) that generates a new kind of “tech-life“. The Biosphere Project launches the adoption program of small worlds: ¨Adopt a World, adopt your World¨.
Cellular Seeds - Live Interaction with the artist
Alejandra Marinaro (AR)
Live interaction with the artist The existence of destiny is an inherent question about the human condition and many believe it to be unique. Meet the artist behind Cellular Seeds. Link to enter will be available in alejandramarinaro.com

Acte de Fe
Marc Vilajuana, Adrià Grandia, Carlos Martorell
Act of faith (Acte de Fe) is an exploration of our relationship with technology, its similarities with the one we have with religion, the tools involved in both processes, and its impact on us and in our sacred/private space. Mise-en-scène will consist in a liturgy performed by Marc Vilajuana (voice, effects, hand drum), Adrià Grandia (acoustic and MIDI hurdy-gurdy, modular synth, laptop, aerophones), Carlos Martorell (coding, synths, motion sensors, artiphon) and a real-time reactive AI trained with religious scores.
Interdependence with Richie Hawtin: AI for humans
Holly Herndon, Matt Dryhust
In dieser Diskussion sprengen wir die binäre Trennung von Mensch und Maschine im Prozess des Musikmachens, untersuchen Möglichkeiten, wie KI-Systeme dazu beitragen könnten, dass mehr Menschen bezahlt werden, anstatt verdrängt zu werden, und diskutieren die Notwendigkeit, dass KünstlerInnen im Prozess der Entwicklung von KI-Tools teilhaben.
CNMAT ODOT
John MacCallum(USA), Jeff Lubow (USA)
In diesem Workshop geben wir eine kurze, praktische Einführung in ODOT, eine dynamische, multiparadigmatische Programmierumgebung, die mit Open Sound Control arbeitet. ODOT wurde Anfang 2007 an der CNMAT entwickelt und hat sich zu einer leistungsstarken und robusten Suite von Werkzeugen entwickelt, die in einer Vielzahl von Kontexten nützlich sind, von der Signalverarbeitung für Gesten bis hin zur computergestützten Komposition. Während dieses Workshops werden wir den aktuellen Stand des Pakets und die Zukunft des Projekts diskutieren.
Performance of CORAIL
Edmund Campion
There is no pre-defined score for CORAIL (CORAL). CORAIL is a software environment that performs audio analysis of an incoming live signal that generates and organizes sound through the computer and the CORAIL algorithms. Persistence inside any one environment causes the program to move toward greater sound generation and machine autonomy.
ORCHIDEA with Composer and Lead Researcher at CNMAT
Carmine Cella
Carmine Cella is available to host a live online demonstration/workshop for ORCHIDEA, a framework for static and dynamic computer-assisted music orchestration. Orchestration consists largely of choosing combinations of sounds, instruments, and timbres that support the narrative of a piece of music. The ORCHIDEA project assists composers during the orchestration process by automatically searching for the best combinations of orchestral sounds to match a target sound, after embedding it in a high-dimensional feature space.

Cairo is Data
Cairotronica (EG)
A film that shows Egypt through the eyes of 6 emerging new media artists sharing their grounds for inspiration. Their works that they are currently developing navigate the peculiarities, tensions and challenges that come at the intersection of technology, business, culture, and society.
Artificial Seascapes. Two female AI artists respond to current uncertainty with powerful art.
CADAF (The Contemporary and Digital Art Fair) (US)
An one-hour live session with artists, Anne Spalter and Sofia Crespo, in discussion. We will dive into their artistic practices, their use of AI, and the relationship between data, GAN and human perception.
Artificial Seascapes
CADAF (The Contemporary and Digital Art Fair) (US)
Artificial Seascapes reflects on the impact humans and technology have on the environment and explores new ways to visualize it. By incorporating artificial intelligence, algorithmic tools and data processing into their practice, Spalter and Crespo allow us to see mundane events from the perspective of a machine. By shifting the focal point, scenes that are familiar to the human eye - cruise ship images or sea creatures - begin to evolve, resulting in new compositions that have never been seen. The artists invite the viewers to submerge in these new worlds, where beauty and technology collide to expose questions of human perspective, consciousness and preservation.
