Prof. Bernd Herzogenrath and Dr. Jenn Chubb will trace the boundaries of human and non-human with special seminars

Where is the boundary of contemporary music, which is increasingly influenced by computing technology, whether in the form of generative artificial intelligence or the algorithms of streaming services? What can David Cronenbergs's films, famous for their "mutants" and remarkable depictions of violence, tell us about our physical bodies? Can music help us better understand the role of humans in a world transformed by them? And how do documentary soundtracks sonically frame and co-create narratives about artificial intelligence?

Four special seminars will be held at the FHS and the National Gallery to address these topics. They will be presented by Professor Bernd Herzogenrath from Goethe Universität Frankfurt and Dr. Jenn Chubb from the University of York. Come and explore the themes of the boundaries of the human and the non-human in film and music in the context of the significant development of artificial intelligence together with a foreign academics.
