An interdisciplinary symposium and pop-up art exhibition.

The Performative Computation Symposium features the work of artists who engage in improvisation, as well as practitioners whose work probes artificial intelligence.

Presentations and facilitated conversations will explore: human improvisation, embodied computation, machine intelligence, data architectures, algorithmic debiasing and accessibility, choreographic scores and machine-assisted, musical improvisation. Following the symposium, a FREE pop-up art exhibition reception (including screenings) will be held.
