Experimentation, Ideation, and Creativity with Generative AI

Experimentation, ideation and creativity with generative AI is a workshop exploring AI as a tool to supercharge creative practice. We will look at a number of tools and use cases before using Neural Radiance Field (NerF) and AI motion capture to create and animate hyperreal 3D worlds.

This workshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of generative AI as a tool for creativity. Through a blend of theory, practical application, and collaborative feedback, Dan Tapper will guide participants in exploring new dimensions of artistic expression using AI technology. Participants will leave with a deeper appreciation of the possibilities that generative AI brings to the world of art and creativity.

Software and Tools: Neural Radiance Field (NerF) and AI motion capture to create and animate hyperreal 3D Worlds. Specific tools for nerf and mocap will be Luma AI and Deepmotion.
