最新糖心Vlog

Award-winning NYC avant-garde artist and creative pioneer, Laurie Anderson, is the inaugural artist-in-residence at Art Intelligence, a ground-breaking collaboration between the 最新糖心Vlogn Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) and Sia Furler Institute at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

Art Intelligence is a world-first artistic research platform and independent art space for capturing emerging thoughts and creative forms that pairs world-class AI and machine learning engineers with leading artists, supporting their collaboration in mediums from VR to robotics, from music to architecture with a goal to produce ground-breaking explorations at the intersection of art and artificial intelligence (AI).

Resident artists and the creative experiments they deliver will be shared with the public via MURMUR 鈥� an online and offline exhibition space that will capture emergent thinking and creative forms borne of the artist-engineer collaboration process.

鈥淲hen people say the purpose of art is to make the world a better place I always think: better for who? Art is not medicine or science. It鈥檚 not about creative problem solving."Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson - a performance artist, composer, musician, writer and film director whose work has spanned the media spectrum, most recently virtual reality - was the first artist-in-residence at NASA in 2003. She will conceptualise MURMUR鈥漵 first piece during her visit, as well as work with students at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, and perform for RCC 2020 at Bonython Hall.

Laurie Anderson said: 鈥淚鈥檓 really excited to be the first Artist-in-Residence within the Art Intelligence program.

鈥淥ne of my favourite quotes about technology is from one of my meditation teachers who said, 鈥業f you think technology will solve your problems, you don鈥檛 understand technology- and you don鈥檛 understand your problems.鈥�

鈥淲hen people say the purpose of art is to make the world a better place I always think: better for who? Art is not medicine or science. It鈥檚 not about creative problem solving.

鈥淚f I had to use one word to describe art it would be freedom. I鈥檓 curious about whether this freedom can be translated or facilitated by AI in a meaningful way. One way I鈥檇 like to try is with language mutation.

鈥淪ometimes art and poetry are made of accidents and collisions. Maybe there鈥檚 a way AI can collaborate with artists. I can鈥檛 wait to try.鈥�

Sia Furler Institute director Tom Hajdu said: 鈥�The duty of the artist is to respond to and reflect upon the human experience. The edges of that experience are now clearly being challenged by AI and the machines that we are rapidly welcoming into our lives.

鈥�Laurie Anderson is one of America鈥檚 most renowned 鈥� and daring 鈥� creative pioneers. Her work shapes the way new mediums unfold, I can think of no other artist in the world more qualified to be the first AI artist in residence at the AIML.鈥�

Anton van den Hengel, director of AIML, said: 鈥淭his project will help shape the future of AI and of art. There is a lot of art about AI, but very little that is AI. We鈥檙e aiming to change that.鈥澨�

While in Adelaide, Laurie Anderson will host or perform at a number of other events with the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, including an AI Art Hackathon, a music workshop, the launch of the AI/ART Initiative.

The public can also catch her in the RCC Fringe Masterclass and In-conversation with Laurie Anderson on Monday 9 March at 5.30 pm, with proceeds to be donated to bushfire relief. .

The public will be able to see Laurie Anderson in performance at Bonython Hall on March 14 and 15, in her career-spanning, multimedia retrospective based on her recent best-selling book All The Things I Lost In The Flood - a series of essays about the archive of work which she lost when Hurricane Sandy flooded her and her husband Lou Reed鈥檚 basement in 2012.
