Workshops on algorithmic culture
Presented by Ferment AI
as part of the Goethe-Institut Toronto‘s Algorithmic Culture project
The Goethe-Institut Toronto is committed to engaging with diverse voices to determine new pathways in exploring AI’s impact on the future of culture in a 2021-22 program called Algorithmic Cultures. Workshops, podcasts, ‘zines and residencies will connect artists, experts, and audiences between Berlin and Toronto, Canada and Germany, Europe and the world.
Launching the project, Jerrold McGrath, former Program Director at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and Artscape Launchpad, runs a series of participatory workshops to discuss issues, ideas, and approaches to the rapid changes in culture underway driven by algorithmic acceleration.
