Two workshops will provide an overview of existing systems, notable artworks, and performances related to the workshop topics, as well as cover some technical aspects and theory for general knowledge. They will also present the use of diverse artificial intelligence tools in the context of arts and creativity, such as:
Audio Creation Tools: FluCoMa, TorchAudio
Generative Visuals: Autolume
Interactivity Tools: Livepose, Wekinator, Edge Impulse.
Workshop 1: AI for audio sound bank manipulation and generative visuals
This workshop will introduce and provide hands-on practice with AI tools: FluCoMa for intelligent audio soundbank manipulation as well as Autolume for small data dedicated to custom-tailored generative visuals. Participants will get a broad overview of new practices and available AI tools and try them out through a hands-on activity.
Workshop 2 : AI for interactivity through camera-vision and embedded systems
This workshop will introduce and provide hands-on practice with AI tools for interactivity through camera-vision, machine learning and embedded systems. We will cover tools such as : Livepose and Wekinator for camera-vision motion-recognition, Edge Impulse for embedded AI models facilitating embodied interaction.
