Members of the MA Global Media Management are once again contributing to the Southampton Festival of Arts and Humanities, this time as part of the in-person Hands-On Humanities day at Avenue Campus in Southampton (20th November from 10:30 – 16:30 GMT).
AI and robots are set to play an increasingly important role in our everyday lives. Will they be human-like in appearance or intelligence, or quite different from us – more like toys, pets, and other animals?
In this workshop you play with and program animal-like robots and toys. What new relationships of play, work and care between people and machines can you imagine? You will test their limitations and design new possibilities for a future of life with technological creatures.
Read more HERE and drop by on the day to participate!
The workshop is run by Dr Seth Giddings, Lesia Tkacz (both GMM staff members) and Yijie Gao (Ink – a PhD candidate at Winchester School of Art), and combines their research into, respectively: AI and technological imaginaries; automated creativity; robot-animal-human relationships.
