CREATE.AI at the Festives of Sorbonne Université

From November 26 to 28, during the Festives of Sorbonne Université, Scai will launch its CREATE.AI project: a reflection on the future of art-science mediation through the lens of artificial intelligence. The artists (from various disciplines such as singing, dancing, photography or theater) and scientists invited will participate in workshops by group on a principle quite similar to the Hackathon: 1 - exchanges/exploration of an idea - 2 - creation/production - 3 - exhibition/demonstration. 

These workshops will take place at Scai on November 26 and 27. The restitution open to the public will take place on Sunday, November 28 from 1pm to 6pm!

On Sunday, November 28, the artists and scientists of the CREATE.AI project are waiting for you for new EXHIBITIONS and PERFORMANCES.

Program: (disponible en français ici)

2pm - Performance of Bam ! Charge, augmented with artificial intelligence. 

A collaboration of Mairi Pardalaki, choreographer, José Miguel Fernandez, composer and physicists of the PLAS@PAR Federation: Emily Lamour, Marie D'angelo - INSP, Caterina Riconda and Paula Kleij - LULI & Grégory Page, language teacher at Sorbonne Université.

Location: Scai (Esclangon building)

3pm - Restitution of the workshop Improvisation and AI & Concert of medieval music

Explanation of the process of musical creation integrating AI with Frédéric Billiet (Iremus) & the Ensemble SINE~CUM: Valérie Le Page, Raphaëlle Soumagnas. Concert of medieval music given by the Ensemble Rue des Chantres

Location: Amphitheatre 44 on the Pierre and Marie Curie Campus 

=> Accessible without registration, all public is welcome.

In 2019, Erwan Picquet, Vincent Pislar and Christian Ploix, founded the variable-geometry ensemble Rue des Chantres, named after a street on the Ile de la Cité located a whisper away from Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Having been themselves singers at Notre-Dame, their goal is to make heard the songs which during history resounded in the cathedral, in particular the polyphonies known as the School of Notre-Dame which spread in the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe in the 13th century. In the elaboration of their programs, they go back to the sources and immerse themselves in the reading of the musical manuscripts of the Middle Ages patiently copied by the monks. The concert also features songs with improvised parts according to medieval rules that are of particular interest to AI research.

Continuously from 1pm to 6pm, you will find :

• Agathe Rosa, visual artist, will exhibit a new project and territory of exploration: weaving a living link with her environment by opening up to the rhythms of what inhabits it.
• Benjamin Guyot, artistic director & actor, will present his project mixing theatrical improvisation and artificial intelligence (voice).
• Clothilde Chevet, doctoral student at GRIPIC & Zoé Aegerter, designer, will present their project of vocal assistant Mille et une voix : fabriquer le Bestio-robot.

Also at Scai, will be exhibited:

• The Emotional rein - continuous from 1pm to 6pm. Artist : Amy Hamblin
  How can brain activity inspire an artist? Discover an interpretation of the activity of the habenula, which regulates emotional behavior.
• Le Chant du poisson-zèbre - continuous from 3pm to 6pm, with the presence of Hugues Genevois (IJLRA, LAM team). This artistic device transforms images of the neuronal activity of a zebrafish into sounds using genetically coded sensors.
