How
are
creative
ideas
inspired
?
Given
the
rise
in
using
machine
learning
in
artistic
practices
and
design
,
what
is
the
role
of
authorship
when
considering
the
generation
of
a
creative
idea
?
Accordingly
,
this
seminar
will
be
a
focused
investigation
into
the
generation
of
creative
thought
.
It
will
be
a
text
-
based
seminar
where
we
will
examine
one
theme
each
week
and
have
one
core
text
accompanying
each
theme
.
Discussions
and
activities
will
be
inspired
by
the
theme
of
the
week
,
which
include
:
hyper
-
realities
,
dreams
,
episodic
memory
,
simulation
hypothesis
,
and
philosophical
/
aesthetic
questions
around
using
machine
learning
/
Artificial
Intelligence
in
creative
practices
.

i

During
the
seminar
you
will
be
asked
to
keep
a
journal
to
map
how
your
creative
thoughts
and
(
day
)
dreams
are
dynamically
changing
based
on
the
themes
we
explore
.
For
the
final
project
,
you
will
be
asked
to
create
a
dream
scape
from
your
collected
journal
experiences
by
taking
the
perspective
of
a
machine
learning
algorithm
(
to
embody
the
algorithm
). <
