Recommenders and Intelligent Tools in Music Creation: Why, Why Not, and How?
Christine Bauer (AT), Peter Knees (AT), Richard Vogl (AT), Hansi Raber (AT)
This workshop will highlight the role of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning-supported composition, and Recommender Systems in the process of music creation. We discuss their reception and prevalent image among professional music producers and creators, including the potential threats these technologies pose to their artistic originality. We contrast this view by emphasizing the power of AI-technology for a democratization of music making, by lowering the entrance barrier of music creation.
Luci, sin nombre y sin memoria
José Manuel Berenguer (ES)
Luci reproduces the functioning of a self-organizing system inspired by the behavior of fireflies in south-east Asian mangrove swamps. It has been observed that when the male launches an intermittent signal the female responds with a similar signal. Luci is, in the final instance, an allusion to the irreversibility of nature and the absolute security of death.
Digital Musical Interactions
Koray Tahiroğlu (Fl/TR)
Today digital technologies and advanced computational features, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) tools, are shaping our relationship with music as well as enabling new possibilities of utilising new musical instruments and interfaces. In this workshop, we question, what does our relationship with music and musical instruments look like today?
How can we make more liveable cities?
300.000 Km/s (ES)
SAT 7.9. | 10:00 – 11:00 Arising from the experience of S+T+ARTS Prize winning project- Ciutat Vella's land-use plan, this workshop is open to a wide range of urban agents with different scientific, artistic, political and technical backgrounds to reflect on several cutting-edge questions in European cities.
Computer Music Design and Research – IRCAM Workshop
Jérôme Nika (FR), Daniele Ghisi (IT)
Computer music designer, musician, and researcher Jérôme Nika (FR) will present the generative agents / software instruments DYCI2 that he develops in collaboration with Ircam, and in interaction with expert improvisers. These agents offer a continuum of strategies going from pure autonomy to meta-composition thanks to an abstract “scenario” structure.
GET.Inspired
FRI 6.9. | 13:00 – 14:30 The power of individual technology groups and their exclusive role in shaping the future is increasingly subject to criticism. We are called upon to critically question and actively participate, instead of remaining passive victims of digital change. People and companies show how, by thinking against all rules, new paths can be taken outside the comfort zone.
The Art of Intelligent Interruption and Augmented Relationships
Harry Yeff (UK) & Domhnaill Hernon (IR), Nokia Bell Labs
Developing disruptive research for the next phase of human existence. What are the narratives that allow the world to embrace Augmented Intelligence and do artists offer an answer? Harry Yeff walks us through his portfolio of interactive installation, creative use of machine learning and vocal performance to explore the concept of intelligent interruption and augmented relationships.
Content One Campus – Network Intelligence
Organized by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea (MCST) and Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) (KR)
With its disruptive AI, robot, data, 3D, and VR technologies, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has triggered a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. The speed and breadth of the economic, political, social, and cultural changes produced by technology are literally beyond our comprehension. It is time to think, act, and collaborate to bring about new methodologies for the coming age. What, then, will be the best strategic approach? What manners of collaboration are necessary? How can we educate our talented creators?
PULSATION
Aruma – Sandra de Berduccy (BO), Maria Selma Batista Ferreira (BR), Camacã Imboré/Tupinambá Indigenous community, Bahia (BR)
The three textile works that comprise *Pulsation* combine traditional knowledge, processes and materials such as reeds, thread and feathers, with unusual materials such as fiber-optic cable and LEDs to offer a poetic approach to Indigenous culture.
Aurelia 1 +Hz / proto viva generator
Robertina Šebjanič (SI)
Aurelia 1+Hz / proto viva generator addresses the possibilities of coexistence of animals and machines. The project uses living organisms to process “aliveness” of a simple robotic machine. The two entities – jellyfish and robot – are separated. If they merge into one, causing new biocybernetic organism to occur, would they be able to live forever?
