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.

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.

GET.Inspired: Welcome and Opening
FRI 6.9. | 10:30 – 11:00

!brute_force
Maja Smrekar (SI)
What can artificial intelligence learn from dogs? This is a question of practice-oriented artistic research aimed at developing an algorithm for artificial neural networks that is co-programmed by dogs.

Project Alias – Design your own Parasite
Bjørn Karmann (DK), Tore Knudsen (DK)
SAT 7.9. | 11:30 - 12:30 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.

TeleAgriCulture_Rhizomatic Bias
Julian Stadon (AU), Erik Overmeire (NL), Daniel Artamendi (ES), V2_ Lab for Unstable Media (NL)
What happens if biotopes start chatting to each other using social network communication models? TeleAgriCulture_Rhizomatic Bias aims to explore how bias grows in machine learning and intelligent systems. This artistic provocation points at the much larger problems we face when our emotional biases and social constructions affect the way artificial intelligent systems evolve and impact our lives.
