Keynote: Exploring Potentials and Risks of AI Technology from a Perspective of Creatives
Varvara Guljajeva (EE)
In the beginning of AI technology development in the late 50s, the field did not reach set goals because the machines were not smart and fast enough. Today, when it is spoken about the third wave of AI and quantum computing, the dream is very close to come true – reaching the human-level of intelligence. However, what kind of consequences could bring these technological achievements?
SPLEEN MACHINE
Alex Braga (IT)
SPLEEN MACHINE dokumentiert die jahrelangen Forschungen von Alex Braga auf dem Gebiet von A.I. und die Kreation eines neuen Musikinstruments namens A-MINT, das der Schlussstein der sogenannten ‘Augmented Music’ ist.
Bias, for bass clarinet and Interactive Music System
Artemi-Maria Gioti (GR), Szilárd Benes (HU)
Ein neuronales Netz, das darauf trainiert ist, meine eigenen ästhetischen Urteile zu simulieren, ist verantwortlich für die Entscheidungen des Computers während seiner Interaktion mit dem Musiker: d.h., ob es die von ihm gespielten Klänge "spiegelt", neues Klangmaterial vorschlägt oder einfach nur schweigt.
Machine folk music school
Bob L. T. Sturm (US)
Die "Machine Folk Music School" wird von Bob L. T. Sturm (US) per Videokonferenz geleitet. Er lehrt eine KI-generierte Volksmelodie in der klanglichen Tradition. Alle Musikinstrumente sind willkommen.
Folk the Algorithms
Bob L. T. Sturm (US)
Sturm builds, learns from and collaborates with AI systems trained on transcriptions of traditional music. These systems effectively generate an unlimited supply of new tunes imitating traditional ones. Sometimes these tunes are perfect as they are, and sometimes they are imperfect in interesting ways, but they all lack the credentials of “real” traditional tunes.
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?
Data Garden - Tour & Talk

Data Garden Prerecorded discussion between artist Kyriaki Goni (GR), Prodromos Tsiavos (GR) Head of Digital at The Onassis Foundation, and *TBC,* followed by live recap and audience Q&A on YouTube and Zoom.
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.

These interviews will discuss the work of the artists throughout their MindSpaces residency. They will present their work so far and their collaboration with the technical partners of the MindSpaces consortium.
Citizens' Think-in on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a growing role in our lives. Machine learning tools help determine the ads you see online, the news you read and the products you purchase. Every time we send a text, use a credit card or sync a wearable device we are sharing personal information about ourselves. But what are the social consequences of AI? How is our information being used? Who is setting the policies and regulation? And how can AI affect our privacy and civil liberties?
Panel – Daejeon Biennale 2020
AI: Sunshine Misses Windows Garden has a long history as the form of art in Korea. Garden is more than a place for enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. It embodiment of a philosophy of life. The garden reflects the transformation of a vaster cosmic universe. If we glimpse at garden with the lens of Artificial Intelligence, garden is the special time and space where nature and human beings coexist, society and human beings interact, and human beings and A.I. pursue co-evolution.
Addressing Ethics, Bias and Colonial Legacies in Emerging Media
Courtney D. Cogburn (US), Moderator: Jesse Damiani (US)
In this talk, we will examine the relationship that emerging technologies have with the past, ranging from biased algorithms to the unequal degree of access that has been granted to different communities—and by extension how they have been respectively represented in media and technology. As art created with these technologies increasingly enters the public discourse, how can artists thoughtfully engage these media as tools to subvert the legacies of colonialism rather than unwittingly reinforce them?
Within a Latent Space
LOREM (IT)
Entirely realized though AI systems, "Within a Latent Space" is an AV performance about exploring past, present and future as it relates to our constant journey between our transpersonal psyches and non-human unconscious. A Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) was trained on an original plot based on a dataset composed by multiple transcriptions of dreams. AI-generated images and sound interpret than those words, disclosing an eerie, uncanny journey into our common deepest.
Autonomy & AI: Who is using Who?
Sari Depreeuw (BE), Francesco D’Abbraccio aka LOREM (IT)
Creative Artificial Intelligence and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are by now daily used in the production of images, videos and art. This creative relationship is exciting yet not very clear. Largest part of production feeds into popular deep fakes and face swapping tendencies. We do feel a layer of suspense and concern when it comes to ownership of AI produced artworks. For this reason, we are meeting an expert in digital law, AI media artist, to discuss the role of AI in society today and tomorrow.
