The Age of Computational Desire: Towards a New History of Culture in the 2020s | The New Centre for Research & Practice
Instructor Kazys Varnelis explores the consequences of technological transformations, tracking how networks transformed political forms and discourses.
Eveline Ypma is a (film) composer, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist. She specializes in compositions with a subdued and playful character. Her love for nature is reflected in her creations through soundscapes; this brings a idiosyncratic and organic dimension to her music.
Assembling Intelligence, a multidisciplinary symposium organised by HEAD – Genève (HES-SO), will bring together artists, designers, and researchers to highlight a spectrum of alternative definitions for ‘artificial intelligence’. The discussions will introduce much-needed diversity into the otherwise monochromatic and frequently cynical perspectives manifested in mainstream corporate AI models.

Free workshop: (Ab)using AI as an artist [in English]
The onset of publicly available AI-generation for images and text can be a source of existential stress for artists. Virtually any style can be copied now. Complex, intricate compositions are just a prompt away. Making things that appear to be art no longer requires years of study and practice. The uncanny valley has been bridged and we have arrived as pioneers at a new digital frontier. Here, well-trained intelligent beings have dedicated their existence to devising a facsimile of human imagination and creativity. To do so, they make use of the billions of examples we have digitized and uploaded ourselves over the last few decades.
We constructed artificial intelligence to assist us in our daily lives, to work more effectively and to reduce (manual) labor. As with anything digital, the goal is to create less friction and easier transactions. Now, the robots are asked to make art while the markets seem more overheated than ever. Once again, automation has led to more work, not more free time. Still, they are dependent on human input. What if these new technologies were (ab)used in a way that makes your life as an artist a lot easier? If students can prompt an AI to do their homework, why wouldn’t there be similar uses for this technology for your life as an artist?
On Thursday the 13th of July artists Dakota Havard and Sjef van Beers will give you some insight into the latest developments in the relationship between machine learning and autonomous art. In a workshop format they will introduce you to the available tools and will help you make the robots do the dirty work for you. From writing application text to conjuring up whole exhibitions, the potential for removing a lot of the bureaucratic hurdles involved with being an artist is enormous.
The workshop (Ab)using AI as an artist is organised by Singular-Art and Dakota Havard in close collaboration with Lindenberg Kunst en Technologie, platform for art and technology. At the time of this event Dakota will have his first solo at Singular-Art (Waalkade 72), FEAIR, which opens on the 8th of July and runs until the 20th of August.
This workshop is in English. You can join for free. Sign up with an email to info@oddstream.nl.
