DescriptionThis session will present the highlights from four SPARKS (Short Presentations for the Kindred Spirit) Sessions. The "Sensing the Body to Expand Possibilities in Art and Performance" session moderated by Elizabeth Jochum, Alan Macy and Bonnie Mitchell explored how artists push creative boundaries utilizing computational tools to augment the body in artistically expressive ways. "AI and Artistic Autonomy", moderated by Mauro Martino, Rebecca Ruige Xu and Gustavo Alfonso Rincon investigated how the dependency on models and algorithms developed by others influences creative practice. "Artistic Interpretation of Digital Cultural Heritage" moderated by Fan Xiang and Victoria Szabo, explores how the choices visual artists make in sourcing, composing, and styling historical imagery affects our understanding of the past. And lastly the "First Nations’ Futures" SPARKS session, moderated by Rewa Wright and Clarissa Ribeiro, discusses how digital art is used as a gateway to share stories about culture, community, and identity.
