Beschreibung
For the first time, there was a whole theme track dedicated to Arts and Media at KI-Camp 2021. Three artists have created new AI artworks from the inspirations and impulses of the KI-Camp. In this WebTalk, Hana Yoo, Portrait XO and Karim Hegazy will present their works and discuss together which moods, AI research insights and tools inspired them during the creative process. As part of the KI- Camp 2021 Organizing Team, Paula Böhme will moderate this conversation with the three artists.
The speakers:
- Hana Yoo works with experimental video and film that investigates the nature of artificiality and its political entanglement, along with the altered mental states derived from technical apparatus. She engages with the allegory of nature and interrelation of bodies, which she then weaves through storytelling. Investigating liminal matters that stays in between human and non-human, living and non-living - such as dead body, livestock, desert, and machine - has been the fulcrum in her artistic practice. She studied media art at the Berlin University of Arts and currently works in the Vilém Flusser Archive. Her works have shown at museums and festivals including the Fotomuseum(Winterthur, Switzerland), European Media Art Festival(EMAF), and Busan International Video Art Festival(Busan, South Korea) among others.
- Portrait XO is an interdisciplinary artist based in Berlin. She researches computational creativity, human-machine collaboration, and applications for forward-thinking art and music. As a hybrid music artist she explores the possibilities of where we can go with AI, sound and new media. She is also the founder and Creative Director of the recently formed SOUND OBSESSED, which is a hybrid arts collective and music label for musicians working at the intersection of art, sound, science and emerging technologies. She is also a founding member of the IASAS (International Association Synaesthetes, Artists and Scientists).
- Karim Hegazy is an audio/visual artist, who began his musical education in 'Sound- and Music Production' at the HdpK and co-founded the band 'Lion Sphere' with fellow students in 2013. As a solo musician Karim began releasing under the name ‘KimoSlice’ where he also practiced his knowledge in sampling and granular synthesis. Not wanting to limit himself to music, Karim started reusing and cutting old movies to give his songs a videographic counterpart. With a high interest in particle generators and generative visuals, Karim explored a variety of digital softwares (Ableton, Adobe Premiere, Touchdesigner, Blender, Unity) to create his audio reactive works.
