TxP & Restless Egg | Art Made AI: Demos, Discussion, DJs
On Fri 31st Jan, TxP x Restless Egg present Art Made AI:
Going beyond the zero-sum lens of copyright/IP debates, Art Made AI will unpack how art is a space for AI R&D, i.e. an institution to test AI in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere.
Art Made AI will bring together artists, engineers, policymakers, and investors for an evening exploring the stakes of artistic methods in AI development.
Through demos, discussion, DJs and dance, you are invited to help define what the AI products of the future may look like.
A panel of practitioners who are building technology products from artistic vantages will showcase current projects and address pressing questions that have emerged along their journeys.
What precedents exist for technology to be built artistically?
What are the affordances of building technology from an artistic position?
To build technology, can/should artists strive for the technical rigour of computer science?
What policy/IP infrastructure do we need to enable these emergent possibilities to thrive?
The panel will be followed by an evening of DJs and visual art, continuing until late.
Speakers and Artists:
Mat Dryhurst: Artist and Founder, The Call and Spawning
Flora Weil: Designer and Founder, NYU Shanghai and Nephila
Sarah Drinkwater: Founder and General Partner, Common Magic
Sylvan Rackham: Founder, Restless Egg
Will Freudenheim: Game Designer and Founder, Laser Days Studio and Blue Leaf
