Collaborating with Intelligent Machines: Interfaces for Creative Sound

Published:18 April 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

This workshop brings together researchers, designers and instrument builders to explore how we can reframe the way we design "machines" for creative expression. For the purpose of this event, we are focussing on the case of music, but the outcomes will be useful to the broader field of instruments and interfaces for creative work. Three opportunities/challenges are presenting themselves: The disappearing computer is putting embodiment back in the center of our concerns; intelligent agents are reaching a level of complexity, where it is feasible for an interface to provide suggestions based on your own work practices; and finally, creative work is increasingly done in collaboration reminiscent of the classic image of musicians playing in a group. Together, this opens up new possibilities to rethink how we "collaborate with machines" in our creative work. The workshop is focussed on charting these new possibilities and constraints.
