Innovation, Influence and Originality: Artificial Intelligence in the Creation of Visual Art
|
Thursday, January 27, 4:00 - 5:30pm Eastern
|
|
|
This event is in support of the AI for Art Competition.
Faculty member and visual artist Augustus Wendell will explore the methods of applying Artificial Intelligence to the creation of Visual Artworks. Work by contemporary computational artists will be examined and explored in terms of techniques and outcomes.
In this session, we'll demonstrate several common AI techniques for art generation. Methods demonstrated will be made available after the session for adaptation and application for the AI for Art competition.

Coding Out Loud - Episode 3
|
Wednesday, February 2, 4pm Eastern
|
|
|
One hour, one dataset, a pair of programmers. Dr. Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel teams up with an undergraduate student to collaboratively explore and visualize a dataset with the goal of both answering questions of mutual interest with the dataset and showcasing the process of doing data science with R, collaboratively.
As with previous episodes, the session will feature live coding and audience participation. Basic familiarity with R and tidyverse are helpful.
Our guest host for Episode 3 is Lilly Clark (AB in Statistical Science and Certificate in Documentary Studies, Class of 2022).
Watch Episode 1 and Episode 2 on YouTube.

From our partners at the
Innovation Co-Lab
|
|
|
The Co-Lab Roots program offers training in a variety of tech topics, from web design to programming to arts and fabrication. Courses are organized into tracks where students can string together several workshops to get a deep dive into a topic or pick courses a la carte.

Save the date (registration opens soon)!
Feb. 10, 3pm: The Internet: Explained!
|
Finally learn how the internet actually works -- essential knowledge for just about every career field. We'll present the technical details and inner workings of this massive communication network in a way that is accessible and engaging for people with and without technical backgrounds. We'll cover topics like local networks, ports, and packets, and a myriad of acronyms will be explained!
This course will be especially helpful to anyone interested in ethical hacking and/or cybersecurity.

Duke Performances Presents
Annie Dorsen: Yesterday, Tomorrow
|
Friday, February 11, 8pm Eastern
Saturday, February 12, 8pm Eastern
|
|
|
From Duke Performances site:
Humans are haunted by the question: Can robots do our jobs as well as we can? Even more daunting: Can an algorithm create art as adeptly as a human? Theater pioneer Annie Dorsen is among the first to explore the question onstage, creating the unprecedented medium of “algorithmic theater.”
Dorsen is an Obie Award winner and MacArthur Fellow who blends math and performance to create a unique “Dorsen universe — wonderfully rational yet magical at the same time” (BOMB Magazine).
