Description
Alexander Reben: Several works will be presented and discussed which involve various approaches and interpretations of human-machine collaboration and automation.Alexander Reben's work probes the inherently human nature of the artificial. Using tools such as artificial philosophy, synthetic psychology, perceptual manipulation and technological magic, he brings to light our inseparable evolutionary entanglement to invention which has unarguably shaped our way of being. This is done to not only help understand who we are, but to consider who we will become in our continued codevelopment with our artificial creations.Thorsten Sideb0ard: While there are many tutorials and books to be found on how to write subtractive and FM synthesis, when it came to writing a granular synthesis engine for his own Soundb0ard environment, Thorsten struggled to find many practical code examples. Based upon reading Curtis Rhodes' 'Microsoun' book and a detailed blog post by Robert Henke, he came up with his own granular synth engine. In this talk Thorsten will cover the history of granular synthesis, some examples of the sound, and a brief code walk through of the solution ge came up with for his own implementation.Thorsten Sideb0ard is a San Francisco based programmer and musician, working on Soundb0ard, a REPL based compositional and live performance tool.M Eifler is an artist and leader in XR design.
