Pre-workshop description
In this workshop, participants will immerse into the dynamic interplay between human creativity and artificial intelligence. We aim to challenge established paradigms and redefine the boundaries of artistic expression. The workshop will discuss the foundations of human intuition and AI-driven reasoning, unraveling the potential for unprecedented innovation. By discussing the algorithms that underlie generative art, music, and literature, as well as multiple other perspectives underlying intuition, participants will gain a deep understanding of the tools and techniques that power this creative synergy. Moreover, the workshop will foster a rigorous discourse on the ethical dimensions of AI-generated content, delving into questions of authorship, ownership, and accountability within the realm of AI-assisted creativity.
Everyone is welcome to bring perspectives to the table, and in case you cannot join in person or remotely, and would like to present an intervention, you are welcome to send a ~5min clip speaking your mind about the topic. Please contact in that case. We will show clips at the event and keep them for post-production.tomas.veloz@vub.be
Interventions, both recorded and on site, shall focus on a specific but open perspective (e.g. how meditation can foster intuition, or how intuition can be described in terms of geometry). Perspectives can be super divergent, but ideally specific for each person. So we will invite everyone to think of what is the perspective its mind wants to speak from, so we try to avoiding a "random mental walk" over the event, and better build a "symphony of many voices"
The workshop culminates in a synthesis of newfound knowledge, forging connections between the abstract and the tangible. Participants will craft personal narratives on the fusion of human and artificial creativity, reshaping their perspectives on the creative process itself. Designed to captivate a diverse cohort of thinkers, artists, and innovators, this workshop invites individuals with a keen interest in the convergence of art and technology, regardless of their prior familiarity with AI. Through an abstract format that encourages open-ended discussion and reflection, the workshop aims to facilitate a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives. Ultimately, "Artificial Intuition" seeks to push the boundaries of traditional creative processes, unveiling the limitless potential of AI as a transformative force in the tapestry of human creativity.
