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?
