Can You Hear It? Musik und Künstliche Intelligenz

In the organizer's words:

Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping our lives. It is penetrating ever further into many areas of society and changing work and the environment. Its seemingly unlimited possibilities fascinate and challenge us. But how do algorithms actually work? How are they applied and what are their limits? AI composes and analyzes music, it sorts pieces according to their emotional content or genre, it arranges sounds of instruments according to objective parameters. Prof. Rolf Bader and his team are conducting research on these topics. For the first time, the scientists present results and projects in an exhibition - from streaming services to film music databases to the instrument making industry. Immerse yourself in the fascinating universe of artificial neural networks, find out in which musical parameters music differs, visit the emotion cinema or make music with a virtual counterpart.

The exhibition is a cooperation of the MK&G with the Institute for Systematic Musicology of the University of Hamburg as well as Musicube, Elbsilber and Ohrfilm. With the kind support of the Volkswagen Foundation, the Körber Foundation and the Merck Finck Foundation. Media partner: ByteFM.
