This page shows of pics from Instagram collected from all our accounts. It’s a great way to get an overview of all the various things going on at Aalto Studios. This is a collection from @aaltostudios, @kalliostage, @aaltostudios_costume_workshop, @aaltodigitalcreatives, @aaltostudios_productions and @fablab.
Tule Marsioon kuulemaan miltä estetiikan tulevaisuus näyttää tekoälyn aikakaudella. Tällä kertaa panelistimme pohtivat, miten erilaiset algoritmit ja tekoälypohjaiset työkalut muovaavat käsitystämme kauneudesta.
Keskustelun vetäjänä toimii Sonia Zaki.
Asiantuntijapaneelissa mukana ovat:
Laura Beloff, Professori, Taiteen ja median laitos, Aalto-yliopisto
Nick Dorra, Toimitusjohtaja/tuottaja, Nick Dorra Tuotanto Oy
Kari Mankinen, Tuottaja/leikkaaja, TOASTR AI
Keskustelussa etsitään vastauksia seuraaviin kysymyksiin: Onko tekoälytaiteella tunnistettava tyyli tai estetiikka? Jääkö tekoälyn ”virheiden” synnyttämä estetiikka elämään omana ilmiönään? Läheneekö tekoälyn tuottama estetiikka ihmisen luomaa vai säilyykö siinä aina tekoälyn leima? Miten tekoäly muuttaa esimerkiksi valokuvaajien, VFX-ammattilaisten tai pelisuunnittelijoiden työtä? Pitääkö paikkansa, että ne ammattilaiset, jotka omaksuvat nämä uudet työkalut, tulevat menestymään, kun taas ne, jotka eivät tartu niihin, saattavat jäädä jälkeen?

What kind of legal guidelines do we need for creatives working with AI? Can we use copyrighted works for training artificial intelligence? Can AI ownership be democratic?

Aalto Studios MAGICS cooperated with Finnish Chamber Opera in producing Posthuman – a multiartistic science fiction opera performance.
In the story, future posthuman creatures revive an extinct species, human, whose genes and memes are placed into a creature that resembles a human child. The question remains, can humans be replaced, and will anyone remember humans in the future. One of the voices in the performance is produced by artificial intelligence.
The cooperation between the Finnish Chamber Opera and Aalto Studios MAGICS initiated in the early stages of the production. This resulted in two students in New Media, Calvin Guillot and Małgorzata Nowicka creating the visualizations for the performance. This is how they describe their experience:
“We were fascinated and honoured to work in such a multidisciplinary project and to experience the multilingual expression of all the people involved. We had a lot of space for artistic exploration and an interesting challenge to operate within the constraints of the rich visual language of the play. We collaborated with the director on the content of the visualisations by using the artificial intelligence models and generative simulations. With the incorporation of the tools of new media, we strived for a manifestation of the ideas of posthumanism that is more subtle and sensitive – that is not confined to telling a story about artificial intelligence and digital life, but tackles the questions of the human condition. Facilitating this message was the most rewarding and exciting aspect of the process for us. “
Finnish Chamber Opera: Posthuman premiered at Tanssin talo on the 3rd of March.

The 2021-2022 Showreel from our AV Production Team—so many interesting projects in the past 2 years!

How to utilize complementary colors in dyeing?
Complementary= Two colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel.
On the right hand side is a bit too bluish silk which needed to turn in grey. Hint of complementary color Tangerine (🟠<->🔵) turned the fabric to light greyish ⚪️
Use the method if you need to change the tone but you don’t want to make the material any darker. Often the shade will appear even lighter. When needed, you can tint the “neutralised” fabric again.

Airbrush is our new favourite tool 🎨
Use for ageing costumes or decorating fabrics.

🟡 Attach stencils to fabric with spray glue to get sharp edges or
🟢 keep stencil on your hand and brush close / far away to get smudge edges,
🟣 airbrush to wet / dry surfaces,
🔵 combine techniques and make several layers with different shades ✨
