Embedded / Embodied

A concept uniting ‘acoustics’ and ‘epistemology’, acoustemology investigates sound as a means of obtaining knowledge, delving into what can be known through listening. Unlike the analytical, reductionist, and quantitative methods, acoustemology is not preoccupied with evaluation but with the lived experience of sound. Within this paradigm, Embedded /Embodied explores AI sound recognition, generation, and communication … Read moreEmbedded / Embodied

The Aesthetic Qualities of Machine Behaviors

The Aesthetic Qualities of Machine Behaviors

Research project at Studio LOOS, 2023.Algorithms have invaded contemporary life. The invasion is so deep that it is almost invisible at times. With the advent of AI, they have become independent actors – sometimes beyond their creators’ expectations and agendas. They are capable of creating indeterminant and organic cybernetic communication systems which sustain on their … Read moreThe Aesthetic Qualities of Machine Behaviors

Énacteur x Énacteur I at 3rd Conference on AI Music Creativity

Énacteur x Énacteur

Énacteur is an AI-driven agent, designed to actively participate in live electroacoustic improvisation performances. Using machine listening, it analyzes the incoming sounds from the other musician(s), synthesizes sounds in response according to the compositional strategy it was trained on, and spatializes it to multiple channels in real-time. Énacteur x Énacteur I is a binaural recording … Read moreÉnacteur x Énacteur I at 3rd Conference on AI Music Creativity
