“Synthetic Cities: A Symposium on Human-Machine Creativity” is scheduled to take place on September 9, 2023, at New York University (NYU Shanghai). The symposium will bring together a diverse array of participants, including artists, scholars, writers, and architects. The primary focus of the event will be to engage in comprehensive discussions concerning the collaborative dynamics between human imagination and computational intelligence. A central theme will revolve around how these two forces synergize to jointly create and contribute to the realms of creativity and originality. The symposium’s itinerary includes presentations from four distinguished speakers, who will share their research and insights. In addition to this, a designated panel chair will moderate a conversation for an in-depth discussion on human and machine creativity, generative AI systems, agency and autonomy, ethical considerations, and the transcendence of human capacity.
The symposium functions as part of Stavros Didakis’ exhibition “Synthetic Cities,” which is currently on display at the Riverside Project Space (2380 Longteng Road, Tank Shanghai / West Bund).
Speakers: Stavros Didakis, Neil Leach, Daniel Bolojan, Chen Qiufan. Panel Chair: Anna Greenspan
