Creative Director + Choreographer creating seamless visceral experiences at the intersection of dance, theatre, and technology across physical and virtual space.
It’s really fascinating to see the reactions in the comments here. I think there’s a conversation happening between two sides that aren’t quite talking about the same thing. As an artist, I completely believe in the importance of humans in making art. It is essential. However, that doesn’t mean that we can’t use technology in order to create our art. AI, like a drill or paintbrush, is a tool. It is an intelligent tool. I do think it’s important for artists to learn the possibilities of collaborating with AI because I think most will realize that it can be their collaborator and supercharge their creativity more than be their competitor. Now all that being said, we need to have serious conversations about regulation and copyright in the AI space. We shouldn’t be stealing art to train our models and we shouldn’t be forcing artists to work with a tool they don’t want to use. So that’s where the two conversations stand, they are certainly connected, but they are also unique in their own ways. #aiart #ai
"🎶 20 000 musicians are about to lose their jobs because of this dehumanized technology... That was the headline being pushed by the musicians unions almost 100 years ago as they were fighting the massive tech disruption of their time. As we navigate the evolving landscape of the arts industry, it's enlightening to look back at past disruptions, such as the impact of 'talkies' on live musicians in the 1930s. A fascinating article I read this morning, reveals how the introduction of sound in movies, a revolutionary change at that time, rendered movie theater orchestras obsolete overnight. Despite creative strikes and PR campaigns to preserve live music, the audience's embrace of sound films marked a significant shift in the industry.This historical account resonates with today's challenges where technology is again reshaping artistic jobs. From AI in music production to digital art platforms, we are at a similar crossroads. The key takeaway? Adaptation and innovation are crucial, and the ones who adapt the best benefit the most. The arts have always been dynamic, evolving with technological advancements. As we face new disruptions, we need to draw inspiration from the past and embrace change, seeking opportunities in the new landscape. Let's discuss: How can today's artists adapt to technological changes while preserving the essence of their craft? E-AI #ArtsIndustry #HistoryRepeats #AdaptationInArts"
