Registration: A Walk in LePARC with Frederik de Bleser: Performance & AI
Members across clusters are welcome to join this discussion and workshop with Frederik de Bleser. Dancers/performers are also invited to participate in the recording session that will help activate the AI Dancer in the workshops the rest of the week!

DESCRIPTION -
During the LAbO 2021 summer school in Antwerp, participants created a virtual dancer driven by artificial intelligence. After training the algorithm on different gendered bodies and private intuitive acts, it eventually responded with its own forms of virtual sensuality through gesture, movement and sound. Out of this training emerged a gender-fluid avatar.

During this workshop we want to show a video of the performance and talk about the implications of capturing virtual bodies into an algorithm. As part of this discussion, we'll create our own AI dancer that is a combination of real dancers, being able to be controlled by our own movements.

ABOUT LABO -
ChampdAction.LAbO is an annual and international 10-day laboratory for artistic creators of all disciplines, ethnicity and gender with an openness and curiosity for transdisciplinary work. Every summer since 2019 (with one exception), LePARC has attended with a small cohort and cluster co-director Angélique Willkie to participate in the creation lab in Antwerp. We're excited to once again bring a Milieux presence to the summer 2022 LAbO and encourage students across clusters to come learn more at Frédérik de Blaser's discussion Wednesday February 23.
