Panel: Emerging intelligence in sound and visual creation

  • Scramble Hall Shibuya City, Tokyo, 150-0002 Japan (map)

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 Montreal-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. Drawing upon the artists’ practice the panel questions emergence as the possibility for a multiplicity of previously unknown and undetermined interactions to take place in stark contradiction to techno-deterministic narratives.
