Can new technologies incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and computational creativity re-imagine what it means to produce and consume art?
Presented by the SFU Big Data Initiative, the Data Visionaries Series will explore how emerging data-rich technologies can create a deeper understanding of our lived-experiences by combining AI, human data and the artistic process. This panel session features leading experts who are using advances in AI and machine learning to transcend disciplinary boundaries, re-interpreting how our senses shape our understanding of the world.
The Data Visionaries panel session will feature demonstrations that showcase the intersection of art, choreography, sound, virtual reality, AI, ethics and creativity. It will offer a glimpse of what happens when we combine tangible data with computer technologies that emulate, study, stimulate and enhance human creativity and the first-person experience.
