We now mostly create our digital images through interacting with interfaces without really knowing or questioning what lies beneath the screen. We are encouraged to be thankful for a simplified creative experience, but does this serve our imagination, our uniqueness and specificity as artists?

Thought experiments often go back to a shift in known parameters: imagine to stop time! Imagine that the speed of light was only 30 km/h! But what happens if you make these shifted parameters the basis of your technical developments and implement them as functions in machines?
Symposium: SA, 22 April @ University of Applied Arts Vienna
An ephemeral, “fugitive” art form, the Light Show does not exist as an object, but as shared experiences. How does the contemporary artist-researcher re-animate the archive of knowledge, techniques, and materials of this elusive art form as new live practice?

Sensing the Synthetic:
Exploring the Role of Affect and Human Embodiment in AI-Media Synthesis
This presentation focuses on the importance of incorporating the human body into the co-creative process of AI-media synthesis. Among artists working with AI, the term “co-creation” has been established to describe the collaborative nature of AI-driven media synthesis and human-AI interaction.

The Machine Zone:
A Practical Examination of Accepting Artificial Intelligence
This presentation will outline a speculative reframing of the current views held towards creating artwork with tools that are artificially intelligent (AI). This reframing will be referred to as ‘The Machine Zone’, a conceptual place where these tools of creation are not viewed as tools, but as collaborators.

Wobbulator - Early Media Instruments Today (W–EMIT)
The talk/presentation focuses on the use and rolling of such early media instruments today as Raster Manipulation Unit (Wobbulator) and Jones Colorizer/Mixer. Such extracts from artworks of contemporary artists will 'color' the presentation like Kalpana Subramanian, Walter Wright, Sara Bonaventura, Scott Kildal, and the author.
