I am an associate professor in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology of Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Communication, Arts and Technology since January 2008. There, I am conducting both a scientific and artistic research agenda. My research focuses on the theory and practice of Artificial Intelligence, i.e., endowing machines with autonomous behaviours, with a focus on creative and artistic applications. At the Metacreation Lab for Creative AI, we are conducting work and research in three dire
1. Scientific research in Creative AI Metacreation is the idea of endowing machines with creative behaviour (as opposed to problem-solving intelligence). At the fundamental level, it raises the question of the formalization and modelling of creativity which is relevant to both AI and cognitive sciences. At the applied level, it aims to endow machines with creative, autonomous behaviour to meet growing demand from the creative industries. Be it through new algorithms, new datasets, new empirical studies or m
2. Artistic practice using Creative AI Acting as demonstrators as well as creative catalysts, we also develop our own artistic practices by using these approaches in music, visuals, and interactive experience generation. Over the years, we have developed and toured audiovisual performances, interactive installations, and immersive experiences. Bridging music, film, dance, sound design, and media art, our artistic production invoke the computationally sublime as much as it questions human co-existence with t
