With the explosion in music technologies offering artificial intelligence, artists and musicians are exploring original and meaningful ways to adapt them to creative ends — often in ways that critique their underlying assumptions. In the second of a series of two concerts showcasing leading artist-researchers experimenting with AI and complex systems models — attached to the European Research Council-funded project Music and AI: Building Critical Interdisciplinary Studies — live performances explore themes of agency and performative creativity to find new ways to control spatial sound, compose algorithmic patterns, and respond to bodily gesture.

The performances will be followed by open Q & A and discussion with the artists about how and why they are using AI/machine learning.
