Deep learning for music and art

This lecture and workshop given by Robert B. Lisek uses artificial intelligence methods for creation of sound, visuals, performance, immersive installation and interactive media. The event introduces fundamentals of AI and its applications for artists, composers and musicians with practical examples in Python, Supercollider, Pure data/Max Msp.

Details

We observe the success of artificial neural networks in simulating human performance on a number of tasks: such as image recognition, natural language processing, etc. However, there are limits to state-of-the- art AI that separate it from human-like intelligence. Today?s AI algorithms are limited in how much previous knowledge they are able to keep through each new training phase and how much they can reuse. We must focus on self-improvement techniques and meta-learning that are future of AI and art.

 The event consists of work with main types of deep learning algorithms:

* Recurrent Neural Networks and LSTM
* Transformers
* Generative Adversarial Networks
* Convolution Neural Networks
* Variational Autoencoders
* Reinforcement Learning
* Genetic Algorithms, Neuroevolution, HyperNEAT
* Neural Ordinary Differential Equations
* Meta-learning
* application of different types of algorithms for constructing visual works, music compositions, immersive installations, new prototypes, and network app

Author

Robert B. Lisek is an artist, mathematician and composer who focuses on systems, networks and processes (computational, biological, social). He is involved in a number of projects focused on media art, storytelling and interactive art. Drawing upon post-conceptual art, software art and meta-media, his work intentionally defies categorization. Lisek is a pioneer of art based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Lisek is also a composer of contemporary music, author of many projects and scores on the intersection of spectral, stochastic, concret music, musica futurista and noise. Lisek is also a scientist who conducts research in the area of foundations of science (mathematics and computer science). His research interests are category theory and high-order algebra in relation to artificial general intelligence. Lisek is a founder of Fundamental Research Lab and ACCESS Art Symposium. He is the author of 300 exhibitions and presentations, among others: SIBYL - ZKM Karlsruhe; SIBYL II - IRCAM Center Pompidou; QUANTUM ENIGMA - Harvestworks Center New York and STEIM Amsterdam; TERROR ENGINES - WORM Center Rotterdam, Secure Insecurity - ISEA Istanbul; DEMONS - Venice Biennale (accompanying events); Manifesto vs. Manifesto - Ujazdowski Castel of Contemporary Art, Warsaw; NEST - ARCO Art Fair, Madrid; Float - Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, NYC; WWAI - Siggraph, Los Angeles.
