CoderDojo (AT)
Children will be able to program their first computer game, website and much more at the CoderDojo!
Dungeon of Math
Simon Heppner (AT)
In this game Dungeon of Math the player themself is a figure who runs around in a labyrinth battling monsters, discovering treasure, solving math problems, and, at the end, finding the exit.
NORAA – Machinic Doodles
Jessica In (UK/AU)
Machinic Doodles is an interactive game installation that examines the collaboration between a human and a robot named NORAA, an artificial intelligence that is learning to draw.
Artificial Light
Max Seeger (DE)
How does a neural network learn to see and how can we shape the perception of artificial intelligence? In a very experimental and fundamental manner, this project tries to study perception and recreation of light phenomena by artificial intelligence.
Automatic Music Generation with Deep Learning
Ali Nikrang (AT)
In recent years, there has been a great deal of academic interest in applying Deep Learning to creative tasks such as generating texts, images, or music. This workshop focuses on current approaches to music generation. We will also discuss questions like: What makes musical data so special? What can music enthusiasts expect from these models? And how do listeners accept music composed by AI?
Smart.ing Bodies
Evelina Rajca (PL)
Sand, or to put it more precisely high-purity silicon dioxide particles, is the essential raw material from which we make concrete, glass, fiberoptic cables, computer chips, and other high-tech hardware. The installation Smart.ing Bodies features “glass instruments” made of quartz sand that Evelina Rajca collected from disappearing beaches and mountains around the world. The multisensory sound installation consists of those two glass resonators, sensors, motors, and an algorithmic composition created partly by AI learning processes. In order to keep on playing and to avoid a “resonance disaster” (the destruction of the glass or motor), the algorithmic program has to learn to conduct a variety of smart frequencies. What can be heard is the sound of sand, which is pure yet complex and ever-changing.
