Jonathan Reus is giving an artist talk and presenting on critical AI in digital music performance as part of the Distortion Series: Conference on AI Cultures.
Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning are ubiquitous today, from pop culture to the press, through our handheld and networked objects. What does this mean for design and design research? This second installment of the Master Media Design Distorsion Series from HEAD – Geneva will focus on the importance of AI in contemporary design cultures. Based on a combination of speeches, process discussions and panels, artists and researchers will discuss how designers can collaborate with artificial intelligences, both in terms of tools and project opportunities. The afternoon will also be devoted to the consequences of AI and how designers can help highlight the impact of autonomous systems on our society. The conference will be in English.
