Google Labs Creative Makeathon

​A 2-day creative Makeathon organized by Google Labs to challenge and explore the relationship between AI and creatives.

​Join us for a day of speakers (including guests from Curious Refuge and CAA), workshops, mixers, and fireside chats at Google's Playa Vista offices, followed by a second day of focused collaboration and experimentation at the Iovine and Young Academy of the University of Southern California.

​Track 1: Create an original work of art where AI plays a significant role, either as a creative medium in itself or as an integral part of the artistic process.

​Track 2A: Develop an AI-driven tool that empowers creators in a specific field to overcome common challenges, streamline their workflows, or discover novel avenues for expression.

​Track 2B: Propose a speculative concept, prototype, or thought experiment that pushes the boundaries of what is currently possible with AI in the realm of creativity.

​Food and light snacks will be provided during the event. We strongly recommend bringing a personal laptop to both days of the event. Carpooling is strongly recommended. Student leads will lead groups to take public transportation for those interested.

​What is Google Labs? Labs.google is Google's home for the latest AI tools, technology and discourse. It's a team that's busy testing hypotheses, learning from one another and creating new technology, together.
