Read original article Raising Co-Creativity in Cyber-Human Musicianship ERC Advanced Grant awarded to Gérard Assayag Digital cultures are increasingly pushing forward a deep interweaving between human creativity and autonomous computation capabilities of surrounding environments, modeling joint human-machine action into new forms of shared reality involving « symbiotic interactions » found in the arts and, more generally, in […]
Read original article Jérôme Nika (PhD), Researcher in interactions with generative music technologies & Electronic musician. As a researcher in the ISMM team at Ircam, Jérôme Nika’s work focuses on how to model, learn, and navigate an “artificial musical memory” in creative contexts. In opposition to a “replacement approach” where AI would substitute for human, this research aims at designing novel creative practices involving a […]
