The Creative Machine AI, VR and Robotics in the Arts Symposium<\/a>, hosted by the Department of Computing and supported by The Alan Turing Institute, was a one-day event that brought together leading figures from the Computing and Arts communities to contend with questions relating to machine creativity in the wake of new developments in artificial intelligence and art.<\/p>\n\n\n

The event was run and organised by a delegation of creative researchers from the Department of Computing: Prof Larisa Soldatova<\/strong>, Prof William Latham<\/strong>, Prof Frederic Fol Laymarie<\/strong>, Prof Sylvia Xueni Pan<\/strong>, Prof Marco Gillies<\/strong>, Sumit Paul-Choudhury<\/strong>, Rachel Falconer<\/strong>, Nicky Donald<\/strong> and Conference Organiser Pauline Nottingham<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Creative Machine Exhibition (Curated by Professors William Latham<\/strong>, Frederic Fol Leymarie<\/strong> and Atau Tanaka<\/strong>) was launched in October 2014 in the Hatcham Gallery, with the aim of hosting a major exhibition exploring the twilight world between human and machine creativity. The core underlying idea was could a machine replace the human artist? And if not could the machine be an effective creative partner to the artist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symposium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The symposium included several panels and sessions, each one focusing on a different aspect of creativity and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
