Panel: Emerging intelligence in sound and visual creation

The concept of Artificial Intelligence is elusive. Even for experts from a variety of fields it is hard to pin down what exactly constitutes AI. This panel discussion invites Montréal-based multidisciplinary artists Myriam Bleau and Greg Debicki (Woulg), and Japanese AI researcher and musician Nao Tokui, who all engage with AI in the performances they present at this year’s festival. Led by MUTEK.JP’s Artistic Director and critical AI researcher Maurice Jones the discussion explores the idea of intelligence as an emergent feature of co-creative human-machine interaction.
