Audio specialist agency Eardrum, in collaboration with the Powerhouse Museum, will present Powerhouse Late: AI: an evening of presentations and interactive events exploring the impact and potential of artificial intelligence on the arts.

The evening will include interactive displays, in-depth panel discussions, and a world-first AI-assisted live radio play. Artworks exhibited on the night will highlight Australians incorporating AI into their practice, including Kier Spilsbury, Brent Griffin, Jonas Peterson, Jamie Sissons from Absolutely Ai, and students from AI programs at UTS and USU.

Powerhouse’s head of digital, Callum Cooper, will host a presentation and discussion with Kaiber.AI, a US based company at the cutting edge of AI, designing toolkits to augment human creativity rather than replace it.

A panel of legal experts and artists will discuss copyright, impact on livelihoods, and how government, law, workplaces, and artists can adapt to this new (ab)normal.

Other interactive experiences include creating images using Midjourney, the live camera feed renders of Learning to See, and AI-assisted poetry.

There will also be an AI-inspired DJ set and huge wall projections of artist’s work.
