004: Creating Art using Machine Learning with Andreas Refsgaard
In this pod we talk to Andreas Refsgaard an artist and creative coder based in Copenhagen. Working in the field between art and interaction design he uses coding and machine learning to explore the creative potentials of emerging digital technologies. By connecting inputs and outputs in unconventional ways, Andreas allows people to experiment, interact and have fun with algorithms.
We discuss his origin story, leveraging machine learning for accessibility, the randomness and humor of AI, and asking big societal questions while focusing on personal strengths. Andreas talks about asking ChatGPT to come up with new creative ideas, tickling yourself, the poetry of chest hair and the quirkiness of his meme generator projects.
Finally, we wrap-up the discussion talking about a crowd-sourced AI game idea and reworking old projects with new tech.
