Art & Computer Science - Instruments of Creation
A new speaker series focusing on Art and Computer Science is making its debut. The first presentation (on October 4th 2018) features Mario Klingemann and his experimentation processes.
Mario Klingemann will give insights into his process of experimenting with the possibilities of creating visual art with artificial neural networks.
The ability to wield tools is one of the core qualities that define humanity. The evolution of human culture has always run parallel to the evolution of the tools and instruments at our disposal. Machine learning and what is commonly known as artificial intelligence is a very recent instrument that we have created, and we are starting to apply it to all possible areas, including the creation of art. As with any instrument, it takes time to learn how to use it skilfully or how to play it masterfully. Mario Klingemann has been experimenting with the possibilities of creating visual art with artificial neural networks for several years and is beginning to understand the potential and limitations of these instruments. In his talk, he will give insights into his process and show some of the latest developments in this fast-moving field.
