THE WIRE SALON - IN LATENT SPACE: MAPPING THE UNCANNY VALLEY
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Join The Wire magazine for the first in a series of three events exploring the uses and consequences of generative AI systems on music and composition.
Generative AI that uses Large Language Models works by using associations between words and data that are connected without context — mapped in a realm of computational modelling referred to as “latent space”. But what meanings can be drawn from these virtual geographies, what new territory uncovered?
Musician, researcher, artist and designer Damien Roach, who works under the name patten, produced the first AI text to sound album in 2021/22 with the open source program Diffusion – a process he describes as “crate digging in latent space”. He is working on a research/PhD project at the Royal College of Art titled “Acid Realism” after the work of the late critic Mark Fisher, addressing “AI imaging/perception/futures”.
patten will discuss and demonstrate his work and continuing developments that have been made in generative text to sound audio.
The event will conclude with a panel discussion and Q&A moderated by Emily Bick, editor of The Wire.
