Panel Discussion
#CreativeAI: Music & AI

Dr Goetz Richter & Dr Oliver Bown in Conversation

Fri, 27.11.2020
6:00 PM - 20:00 Goethe-Institut Sydney & Online Stream

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we communicate, how we are being creative and how we experience and understand our world. For our project Kulturtechniken 4.0 we invite artists, experts and other creatives to take part in this important discussion.

For the second talk in the series, we will focus on the composition and performance of music, and how they are affected, complemented, assisted or threatened by the rise of AI. Following the panel discussion we will hear a live set from electronic producer Anomie.
