Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst: Inhuman Intelligence (Machine Listening)

Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst discuss their recent work with artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, with specific reference to “Spawn”, their “A.I baby”, which listens, learns, speaks and sings on Herndon’s recent album Proto. This conversation was hosted by Sean Dockray, a Melbourne-based artist, writer, and programmer, and was recorded on the 20th of January at Loop Project Space as part of Liquid Architecture’s Eavesdropping investigation. https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/holly-herndon-and-mat-dryhurst Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst: Inhuman Intelligence (Machine Listening) Machine Listening 20 January, 2020 Loop Project Space, Melbourne Presented by Liquid Architecture and Melbourne Recital Centre Audio: Mara Schwerdtfeger Image: Holly Herndon LIQUID ARCHITECTURE is an Australian organisation for artists working with sound.
