Aotearoa Digital Arts Network is excited to announce the Call for
Proposals for the symposium 'Rising Algorithms: Navigate, Automate,
Dream', in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, 24-26 May 2024.
Submissions due: 21 January 2024
Who is listening? How did it know? Where to next?
The symposium '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?
The kaupapa of the symposium will be open inquiry and a spirit of
exploration. Through critically examining how these technologies
operate, the symposium seeks to bring together experts in relevant
fields, artists engaging with machine learning and AI, industry
professionals and early adopters, with the intention of sharing
knowledge, application and experimentation. We ask, how do we understand
these novel technologies through an aesthetic lens? What is AI's
influence on our current knowledge systems?
ADA invites the submission of expressions of interest from interested
parties for artworks, performances, workshops, demonstrations, papers,
and facilitated discussions to be considered as part of 'Rising
Algorithms: Navigate, Automate, Dream'. We encourage submissions that
engage with the diversity of machine learning and AI practices,
attentive not just to its potential as a critical applied practice, but
also its current ethics, exclusions and barriers.
