The Data Visionaries Series: Data for the Senses

The Data Visionaries Series: Data for the Senses
Can new technologies incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and computational creativity re-imagine what it means to produce and consume art?

The Data Visionaries Series Data for the Senses: Re-Imagining Multi-Sensory Experiences explores how emerging data-rich technologies can create a deeper understanding of our lived-experiences by combining AI, human data and the artistic process. This panel session features leading experts who are using advances in AI and machine learning to transcend disciplinary boundaries, re-interpreting how our senses shape our understanding of the world.

This Data Visionaries panel session is moderated by SFU professors Thecla Schiphorst and Kate Hennessy, and features demonstrations that showcase the intersection of art, choreography, sound, virtual reality, AI, ethics and creativity. It offers a glimpse of what happens when we combine tangible data with computer technologies that emulate, study, simulate and enhance human creativity and the first-person experience.
