Agency and Autonomy: Intersections of Artificial Intelligence and Creative Practice
January 13, 2021In October, under lockdown, the International Symposium on Electronic Art 2020 was held virtually. I participated on a panel considering issues of AI and creative practice, discussing my experience in creating AI systems for commercial music production.

Military Censorship of Filmmaking
