Aotearoa Digital Arts Network Symposium, 'Rising Algorithms: Navigate,
Automate, Dream'
22 - 26 May 2024
Te Whanganui-a-Tara / Wellington and online
Who is listening? How did it know? Where to next?
The Aotearoa Digital Arts Network (ADA) is delighted to announce the
full lineup of events for its 2024 symposium 'Rising Algorithms:
Navigate, Automate, Dream'.
'Rising Algorithms: Navigate, Automate, Dream'_ _explores the increasing
sophistication of machine learning and artificial intelligence, its
growing accessibility for artists and the general consumer, and its
influence on wider society as we navigate complex environmental, social
and economic issues worldwide. In our digitally ubiquitous era, we ask
if technology can solve the wicked problems of our time or if it is
exacerbating them? How have powerful machine learning-driven tools
impacted contemporary cultural production? How are artists in Aotearoa
navigating this shifting landscape?
Over one week in Wellington artists, technologists, and critical
thinkers will delve into these questions, all with a spirit of open
enquiry guided by the symposium's three themes, navigate, automate, and
dream.
Wellingtonians will be able to discover the landscape of art, machine
learning and AI through a wide range of creative experiences and
approaches. These include a new, site-responsive commission from Julian
Oliver popping up on rooftops around the city, group exhibitions at The
Engine Room and null gallery, online artworks, and a performance evening
at Vogelmorn Community Precinct.
Those who want to explore the creative possibilities of AI tools will
have an opportunity to learn through hands-on workshops at TwoFiftySeven
on Friday 24 May.
Finally, over the weekend of 25 - 26 May, a full program of symposium
talks and panel discussions will take place at the Te Aro campus of Te
Herenga Waka. The two day program will explore the breadth of our
creative and critical engagement with machine learning. As part of our
weekend program, ADA will present three keynote discussions led by
Julian Oliver, Eugene Hansen (Maniopoto) and Emele Ugavule (Tokelau,
Fiji).
'Rising Algorithms: Navigate, Automate, Dream'_ _is made possible with
the support of our presenting partner Toi Hourua and funding from
Creative New Zealand and Wellington City Council. Our symposium venues
have been made possible through the generosity of Te Herenga
Waka--Victoria University of Wellington, Vogelmorn Community, and
TwoFiftySeven. Exhibition partners include The Engine Room at Massey
University, null gallery and Urban Dream Brokerage.
We look forward to seeing you in May!
Ngā mihi,
ADA Board of Trustees and convening committee
