Description
We're interested in helping artists learn to use technology to expand their definition of art and in helping tech peeps learn to be more artistic and creative! Wherever you are on that spectrum, we invite you to join us for our Fall intensive workshops!
Introducing "Neural Zoo," part of a series of mini- School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe courses we put together to help get you started!
No experience necessary, come as you are.
Now let's begin!
___________________________
COURSE DESCRIPTION
All students will run their own style transfers, texture syntheses, and design processes combining the two. All students will also get to experiment with extended techniques, including generating video, and using multi-scaling and canvas distortion to see some of the nearly limitless palette of aesthetics possible.
FEES
___________________________
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO
* setup a cloud computational environment for running GPU-intensive machine learning procedures.
* navigate a terminal, jupyter notebook, and git repository for working with open-source command-line utilities.
* run style transfer and texture synthesis from custom image datasets.
* implement extended techniques including multi-scale rendering, video synthesis, style collage, and other custom pipelines.
___________________________
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
For artists, designers, and anyone else interested in this emerging discipline. Students are not required to have a technical background -- all materials will be provided, along with tutorials from scratch how to make these.
___________________________
ABOUT PARTICIPATION
* Participants should bring their laptops.
* No prior experience necessary.
* Small class, up to 8 attendees.
* Women and persons from LGBTQ+ and other underrepresented communities in the tech field highly encouraged to attend.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
Sofia Crespo is an artist working at the intersection of biology and technology. She is interested in how neural networks simultaneously compliment the design process and give insight to processes carried out in the brain. Her quest is navigating the challenges that designers and visual thinkers face when approaching these new technologies without having an engineering background.
