Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Algorithmic Audiovisualities: Music and Media in the Age of AI », en ligne, 13-14 novembre 2025.
« With advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), a wide range of musical and media forms—from live concerts with video projections, holograms, robotics, and mixed reality to multimedia installations, opera, theatre, video games, music videos, cinema, television, advertising, and documentary—are undergoing significant transformations. These changes affect live, streamed, and recorded performances, music production and reception platforms with algorithmic systems, and an array of software for sound, music, and video, all increasingly mediated by AI. This conference seeks to explore how AI technologies are reshaping the ways we create, interact with, and consume audiovisual forms and objects across local, transnational, and digital landscapes, while redefining values and practices in the cultural and creative industries. Together, these transformations contribute to what we term “algorithmic audiovisualities”—a phenomenon that encompasses the shifting, technology-driven modalities of contemporary audiovisual expression.
Throughout music history, technological advances have sparked reactions ranging from optimism to scepticism, highlighting a broad spectrum of perspectives on their impact. Research shows that AI’s growing integration reshapes creativity and agency while raising concerns about potential cultural “homogenization” and “automation” (Airoldi 2022), with fears that data-driven processes could reinforce aesthetic norms at the expense of “uniqueness” and “authenticity”. However, AI has also enriched musical creativity through human-machine interaction (Cole 2020; Auner 2003), enabled software that transforms production techniques and methods (Attias 2013; Prior 2009), shaped audience accessibility, tastes, and preferences (Goldschmitt and Seaver 2019), and directly influenced audiovisual and musical practices and formats (Malhado 2024; Gopinath and Stanyek 2019; Trippet 2019). »
