Now that AI has become widely accessible and applicable to anyone with a modern computer and fast Internet connection, there is an abundance of new AI-co-created music, scripts and video clips. Services like ChatGTP, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and DALL·E have been used to create a common aesthetic which has been dominating the internet for the last year.
There is an abundance of both utopian and critical theoretical conversations about the impact of AI – and rightfully all important. Within the often overwhelming array, this symposium aims to disclose the actual making processes of artists using AI, the use of different systems and models, and herein, how artistic creators develop their work through assemblies of existing services and sometimes self-developed systems.
Latent Assemblies provides a space for knowledge exchange, with the goal of learning about different strategies and making processes adopted by artists and designers working with machine learning technology and AI in general, in relation to sonic and audiovisual productions. This event is a collaboration between FIBER ands Artificial Times (MA) at Sandberg Instituut.
