Past workshops

SXSW Sydney 2024

Sonic Innovations is a hands-on workshop designed to empower anyone to explore AI in music and was first presented at SXSW Sydney 2024.

The workshop is delivered in two parts. First, focusing on exploring the recent history of AI in music and potential for co-creation. In the second part of the workshop, participants learnt about AI's role as an assistive tool, the importance of data transparency and responsible practices for AI in music through the lens of existing tools.

Participants were invited to experiment with AI music tools and prototypes, exploring first hand what’s out there, and learning how they can develop their own.

Run over two sessions, Iteration Techniques for Creative Technology and Co-creativity

Description: Participants will engage in a collaborative design iteration exercise, learning to identify complementary skill sets and the value of interdisciplinary team work. They will understand how collaboration enhances the prototyping process, fostering innovation in immersive art and design.

Session 2: Unlocking Creativity with Generative AI

Description: Kartini Ludwig presents a reflection on the development of Sonic Mutations, a generative AI music performance, originally developed in collaboration with artists Alexis Weaver and Rowan Savage. From sounds to reactive visuals, she will share a new way to think about the creative applications of AI in artistic practice by demonstrating some of the tools, prototypes and outputs that were developed aspart of the project. This will include a live demo of Koup Music, a platform for artists to create, control and customise their own AI music.

Powerhouse Creative Studio Media Arts Holiday Workshop

Learn about human-centred collaboration and iterative design practices in creative technology, while experimenting with AI-powered tools to unlock new ideas in the production of audio-visual material. Students will take part in a series of exercises to help them identify problems worth solving and, in turn, design meaningful and innovative solutions for the future.
