Looking for something interesting to do over the summer? 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. The lab is open to two participatory roles; dancers and non-dancers so get in quick and book register to attend.

Since 2019 Alisdair has been experimenting with situational dance works led by autonomous computer programs that guide performers using text generation and computer speech. Join Alisdair as he guides dance participants through a series of his experiments as a means to ask greater questions about the role of dancers, dance makers and artificial intelligence in the context of his performed improvisational contemporary dance method.
The lab is open to two participatory roles; dancers who will perform improvised dance experiments as a means to participate, and students working in human-computer interaction interested in observing said experiments and engaging in discussion about applied computational devices in creative and artistic work. The workshop will be part dance tutorial, part performance, part guided discussion unpacking ideas and issues pertaining to the automation of creative work and the recent rapid growth of mammoth generative pre-trained transformers with models trained on incomprehensibly large data sets.
