LEARNING WORLDS - Artificial Intelligence with Panel Artists: Stephanie Dinkins & Trevor Paglen

Description

We often meet-up with Artificial Intelligence in our web searches, speaking to digital assistants,  video playlists and shopping lists, all pretty rational and helpful. Then how in the arts can this machine learning be tricked and coaxed to the artistic ends of the imagination and rich human experiences?

This series of free sessions hosted by Rochester Contemporary Art Center explores immersive media like virtual reality, augments reality, and artificial intelligence through artists telling their stories of how they started with each technology. We aim to get past the jargon and talk about how artists were inspired to enter into and begin to make work in these new worlds. In conversation artists and attendees share perspectives and speculations on the futures of art in immersive media for advancing culture and creativity.
