[Commlist] Re/Framing: Creativity, Culture, Computation - genAI research incubation event

Re/Framing: Creativity, Culture, Computation
2 July 2024 (online); 3-4 July 2024 (RMIT University, Australia)

Re/Framing is an academic/creative/industrial gathering that will 
explore the transformation of creativity and the creative fields by 
generative artificial intelligence tools; in particular, this event will 
explore the opportunities and innovations enabled by the sustainable and 
ethical use of tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Leonardo.Ai, and Suno, in 
film, TV, music, advertising, audio production, and other areas.

Eschewing traditional presentations, Re/Framing is structured around 
roundtables, workshops, and experimental modes of idea generation. These 
sessions will incubate ideas around AI’s capabilities to solve complex 
creative and cognitive challenges, or integrate into creative workflows; 
other groups may devise methods for considering, reading, using, and 
analysing AI-generated media. Participants will also engage in guided 
practical, interactive workshops and hackathons, using genAI tools to 
solve problems, visualise stories, and imagine new futures. Curated 
keynote presentations and panel discussions may also inspire (these will 
be recorded for remote participants).

Participants will not have to prepare anything specific for the event, 
however a recommended reading list will be circulated in advance, and 
participants may like to make brief notes around open-ended ideas to 
pitch to others. Bring along your expertise, questions, and an open 
mind, in order to meet other interested folx and let ideas bloom.

The gathering aims to generate several projects for development beyond 
the event; these may be co-authored chapters or articles, industry 
papers, or creative practice projects/NTROs. These projects will be 
further developed at follow-up gatherings.

Expressions of interest for participation will be open until 31 
May. Please include a brief CV (max 2 pages) and a summary of your 
interest in the event (max 150 words).

See the website http://www.reframing-ai.net/ for more information and/or 
to express your interest in participation. If you have any queries about 
the event or issues with the EOI form, please email: 
(daniel.binns /at/ rmit.edu.au)

Registration for observer attendance for panels and talks will be made 
available on the event website in the coming weeks.

NB: Two pre-event writing sessions will be held in May (one online, one 
in-person at RMIT), for those wishing to get a headstart and/or to put 
together an abstract for the ADM+S Symposium later in the year. Please 
indicate in your EOI if you are interested in attending these sessions.

Special thanks to the supporters and partners of Re/Framing: the ARC 
Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making + Society, the 
Australian-French Association for Research and Innovation Inc., 
Leonardo.Ai and Canva.
