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.
