Online Symposium Dec 15/16 2023 - HfM Trossingen - AI in Music - Agency, Performance, Production and Perception


 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new chapter in the ongoing development of technological tools that promise to transform the processes of creative work and artistic production. Now is the time to reconsider the relation of art and AI in practice, its aesthetic potential and to actively participate in and shape the transition and development of artistic and technological professions in the field of AI and music.

The symposium brings together experienced artists, practitioners, researchers and engineers who have been known for crossing over between composition, production, design and performance, engineering and development. The event addresses questions related to the agency of data, AI ethics, performance, and perception.

The symposium organisers hope to provide context from which to approach and make even more sense of the new and revolutionary tools bleeding edge research places at our fingertips.
 

Keynotes:

"Deconstructing data: the compositional process as critical inquiry"

Artemi Gioti (University College London, UK)

"Creative Dialectics: Playing with Intelligent Instruments"
Thor Magnusson (University of Sussex, UK)

I2MT Inaugural Concert - 30 November 2023

 

Experimental Music Inaugural Concert by I2MT (Interactive & Intelligent Music Technologies Research Group) and special guests featuring music works by Juan Martinez Avila, Steve Benford, Craig Vear, John Richards (AKA Dirty Electronics) and special guest Anna Xambó.

I2MT is the start of a new cross-faculty research cluster that investigates Interactive & Intelligent Music Technologies. Our work focuses on developing technical innovation (new software & hardware interfaces and instruments), pushing boundaries of practice (such as robotics, AI, deep learning), understanding human computer & AI interactions in music, with the ultimate goal of enhancing human creativity.

Date and time: Thu, 30 Nov 2023 17:30 - 18:30 GMT
Location: University of Nottingham - Jubilee Campus

+RAIN Film Fest 14 June 2023

 

The +RAIN Film Fest's international call for films using AI models is focused on films that explore the narrative capabilities of this technology in their creation process. The +RAIN Film Fest invites filmmakers to present and discuss their work at public screenings to talk together about film narratives in this incipient moment of experimentation with generative AI, and how this new narratives define the audiovisual language of the future. An international jury will award the most innovative films to be shown at Sónar+D.

As part of the program, there will be a LIVE event that offers a unique musical and audiovisual experience composed of proposals that integrate artificial intelligence in their creative processes. The UPF Poblenou campus is transformed into a space where visitors can enjoy musical and audiovisual creations resulting from research and experimentation with AI. The event explores the aesthetic and creative possibilities of AI models and live coding.

 20:00 - 22:45 LIVE Sessions and +RAIN Film Festival award ceremony:

Symposium Technoscientific Practices of Music - Helsinki 11 November 2022


 The symposium Technoscientific Practices of Music; New Technologies, Instruments and Agents is taking place on 11th November 2022 and will discuss the new music technologies as a process / practice / relationship that involves social and technoscientific transformations in view of music, science, philosophy, community of people, non-humans and life-world as a whole. It is not anymore a myth or urban legend, advanced AI technologies do challenge current practices of creative practitioners and offer a new perspective that redefines the relation between humans and AI. What does this say about the nature of AI and its ability to be part of the mutual incorporation? What “social connections” these AI creative agents build up in music practices, which leads to emerging aesthetics and meanings to appear that would not have been possible otherwise.

The invited speakers are:

Adnan Marquez Borbon (Autonomous University of Baja California, Mexico)
Georgina Born (University College London)
Rebecca Fiebrink (University of the Arts London)
Owen Green (University of Huddersfield)
Michael Gurevich (University of Michigan)
Laurens van der Heijden (University of Twente)
Anna Xambó Sedó (De Montfort University)
Koray Tahiroğlu (Aalto University)
