In our National Science Foundation supported research, “Participatory Sensemaking in Embodied Co-Creative Agents”, collaborators from Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University analyze a dancer’s sensemaking process in an improvisatory dance setting.
This research shines a light on the nuanced and intuitive decisions involved in co-creative dance exchanges. Through this research, we aim to impart invaluable information to design a co-creative artificial intelligence tool to improvise with dancers, while also gaining new perspectives to recognize the deep value of our embodied choices. In this talk, participants will learn about the research taking place between our team of scientists and dance experts and discuss the limitless applications of dance and technology in the realms of learning, training, and creativity.
Synthesizing Sounds from the 1970s to Modern DaySaturday, April 15, 12 – 4 PM
Atlanta Synthesizer Club will be at Computer Museum of America to “show and tell” neat music-making machines. All sorts of synthesizers – from vintage monoliths to modern modular and unique DIY instruments – will be on display. If you’ve ever been curious about synthesizers or are already an enthusiast, this is the chance to meet up with friendly folks and explore the weird and wonderful world of electronic instruments hands-on.
Atlanta Synthesizer Club can be found on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/atlantasynthclub/ and Discord https://discord.gg/hwuk8hnHju .
Event is free with museum membership or admission.
