Our next #AI & #Society Salon is soon ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Join us on 18 February 18:00pm CET for our 4th Salon with @sinders artist and researcher.

We're hearing a lot about AI at the moment but little about the agency that people have over these technologies.

We'll discuss how we can shape AI and challenge dominant narratives through artistic practice.

This website provides the archived video and introduction of the AIST Creative HCI Seminar #6. This edition was held to discuss HCI research "in the wild." It invited two researchers: Jennifer Jacobs and Koya Narumi, who share a research approach of conducting research in close collaboration with practitioners and industry.

@nolwennm Your dissertation (esp. the figure of the unchanged Photoshop tool palette) was mentioned for multiple times in the seminar ;)

AIST Creative HCI Seminar #5

This website provides the archived video and introduction of the AIST Creative HCI Seminar #5, held to discuss creativity support tools for artistic work. It invited three researchers: Xavier Lambein, Tomoya Matsuura, and Baku Hashimoto.

Thank you @junkato for inviting me to the AIST seminar, I loved the opportunity to present, learn, and be part of the panel. And thanks a lot to @tomoya and Baku for your presentations. I learnt a lot and your projects are really exciting to see. I'm looking forward to witnessing where you go with them, and perhaps to exchanging more ideas in the future.
