    A Berliner by birth, born to Turkish migrant parents, HAXAN’s mixture of experimental hip-hop, EBM, punk, and metal is making waves in the underground.

    • The use of Deep Learning for artistic creation has become popular in recent years; whether to create musical compositions, synthesized visual media, or quasi-realistic versions of historical or current characters, also called »deep fakes.«

    In this introductory workshop, we will make use of tools that allow us to work with neural networks for sound synthesis as well as visual synthesis using new text-to-image workflows. The goal of the workshop is for participants to build a basic understanding on the underlying principles of deep learning and incorporate them into their existing sound design, visual, and music composition workflow.

    We will make use of existing deep learning algorithms and analyze the philosophies behind them, while discussing different types of implementations that artists utilize in their work as well as the ethical implications that these technologies bring to the process of the practitioner.

    No programming knowledge is required, but it is welcome.
