International Conference I “Algorithmic Audiovisualities: Music and Media in the Age of AI”
This event brings together researchers, artists, technologists, and educators from across the world to engage critically with one of the most transformative forces of our time: the growing entanglement of artificial intelligence with the creative, cultural, and sensory dimensions of audiovisual media.
The conference approaches these transformations from multiple perspectives: creative potential and content personalization, the reconfiguration of labour and authorship, and the ethical and cultural implications of AI’s integration in artistic production. Rather than framing AI as a purely instrumental or oppositional force, we aim to examine its dynamic role within a continuum of human–machine collaboration and technological mediation that has long characterized the history of music and audiovisual art.
Throughout the conference, a wide range of paper presentations engage with pressing questions that traverse music, media, and technology: from AI-generated authorship and multimodal creativity to platform-mediated listening, pedagogical innovation, and cultural sustainability. These contributions reflect a shared commitment to reimagining how we study and practice music and sound in the context of accelerated technological change.
