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.
