TEDxKrakow - Marcin Strzelecki - Let the music evolve! November 25, 2011

Favorite:

Marcin Strzelecki is a lecturer, composer, programmer, researcher of music culture and critic. He is interested in the influences on human creativity, from evolutionary and genetic to neural, psychological, environmental and cultural factors. He is exploring the question of how the new technologies of conversion have changed the mentality and creativity of human beings, as today's knowledge and technology already allows us to create music in an artificial way, based completely on algorithms. So if breaking the rules is an essential element of art, is it possible (or will it ever be possible) to teach machines to do the same? How will the adoption of technology influence how we view artists and their role in society?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
