Thursday at 2:30: BMO Lab CanStage résidence talk about motion capture in live performance. canadianstage.com/artistic-progr…
The presentation starts at 2:30 toronto time. Enjoy! Tomorrow at the same time we look at depth camera based spatial triggers for sound and lighting.
Watch our first of three presentation from the Canadian Stage BMO Lab performers in residency as part of Can Stage’s festivsl of Ideas and Creation. Today we look at using AI text generation in performance. canadianstage.com/artistic-progr…
NCA seems to train better if identify filter is downscaled (eg by 0.1). It likely increases the relative gradient flow through spatial filters.
Looking fwd to this at 1pm PT tomorrow!
While developing my own art and research practice for the past decade, I’ve seen the value of moving beyond the seeming contradictions of science in the arts; of seeing them as obstacles, But instead as unique sites for invention, growth, and transformation.
Hybridity rejects false binaries. I believe that by engaging practices that connect scientific and cultural fields, we’re able to better adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of living on an interconnected, damaged planet. And hopefully change it for the better.

AI will change the world, so it’s time to change AI go.nature.com/2W2J2UY say @tessposner and @drfeifei @ai4allorg go.nature.com/3m7Anvc
Save the dates! This January 14-17, we're hosting "ART && CODE: Homemade"—a free online festival of casual talks by creators who explore poignant new approaches to combining everyday materials, craft languages, and cutting-edge computation! artandcode.com
latentcompass.com uses BigGAN-PyTorch trained on Places 365. But the method is broadly useful with other models. It turns out that a small batch of user-sorted images is enough to train a classifier and find a corresponding, perceptually meaningful, latent direction.
OH: Changing random stuff until your program works is bad coding practice, but if you do it fast enough it's Machine Learning.
