“Coding and Machine Learning in Media Art”
Bryan Wai-ching Chung
(Artist. Assistant Professor, Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University.)
In the presentation, I shall cover the roles of software coding and machine learning in contemporary art practices. Through my two recent artworks, 50 . Shades of Grey (the award-winning piece in the Japan Media Arts Festival 2015) and Be a Hong Kong Patriot, Part 3 (my solo exhibition in 2019), I would like to demonstrate that software coding, instead of being an instrumental tool to develop media artworks, the act of coding itself can achieve substantial aesthetic values. Recently, artificial intelligence and machine learning are popular in the art scene, for me, as a media artist, it is about time to reflect upon the cultural implications of adopting machine learning in creative arts and in a broader sense, the contemporary societies.
* Hong Kong based programmer and artist Dr. Bryan Wai-ching Chung's work which won the grand prize in the art section of Japan Media Arts Festival 2015 was showing the source program itself as a work. We exhibited the work which consisted of six panels at OIST, each newly printed in a large size. [* by AIAARG]

“Like a Person: humanoids, shiny and new”
Elena Knox (Performing and media artist. Researcher, Watanabe Lab, Waseda University.)
Elena Knox will talk about her video work “Actroid Series I,” accompanied by screenings of the works. The series concerns the social future of fem-bots, specifically anxieties about ageing and mortality, sexual services, robots taking people's jobs, cyborg monstrosity, national security, and brainwashing. It produces culturally-charged discussions of a potential gynoid agency that are oxymoronically based in a chronic paradigm of control. What dictates the evolution of technology, and who 'redesigns' the status quo? This series continues Knox's pioneering embodied critique of the aesthetics of the service gynoid. Knox is currently producing “Actroid Series II.”
* Australian performing and media artist Elena Knox exhibited two video works at OIST, which featured the fem-bot developed by Hiroshi Ishiguro. She also gave a lecture at OIST (The 16th AI Art & Aesthetics Research Meeting Symposium) introducing “Omikuji,” a project with Alter co-developed by Takashi Ikegami and Ishiguro. [* by AIAARG]
