Viral Intelligence at the 14th Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics & X
Dr Stephen Roddy is set to perform his recent composition 'Bacteriophage in Granular Waves' for xCoAx in Torino, Italy this week.
Roddy's piece will be performed at the 14th Conference on Computation, Communication, Aesthetics & X (xCoAx) at Palazzo Madama, Torino, Italy.
It is a data-driven composition that employs both generative music and sonification methods to map synthetic virology data to musical parameters with the help of wavetable, and granular synthesis techniques.
The generative system driving the piece is the result of an ongoing interdisciplinary research collaboration with Professor Liam Fanning and colleagues across UCC’s College of Medicine and Health.
This research is resulting in virological intelligence as an alternative to the neural-paradigm that dominates contemporary generative AI.
Initial development efforts are documented in a recent article features in Leonardo (MIT Press): https://doi.org/10.1162/LEON.a.2583
A comprehensive framework for Viral Intelligence is planned for publication in the coming weeks.
