The Cooper Union is hosting an inaugural Workshop on Generative Art, Architecture, and Engineering Collaboration. For the Workshop, leading practitioners in the field of generative art, design, and machine learning will present their work and engage in a discussion led by students. This extends a multi-year effort to explore generative algorithms and machine learning at Cooper Union through a series of interdisciplinary seminars and studios, where students from the art, architecture, and engineering schools work together on group projects. The Workshop takes place at the Civic Projects Lab, a new interdisciplinary exchange where student work is mounted for display and interaction. Refreshments will be served.
The workshop is hosted by Benjamin Aranda, assistant professor in Cooper''s The Irwin S. Chan School of Architecture, and Sam Keene, professor of electrical engineering in Cooper's Albert Nerken School of Engineering. Guest speakers include Adam Berninger, founder of Tender; artist and educator Neta Bomani; writer and artist Ingrid Burrington; Marcelo Coelho, head of design at Formlabs, MIT Department of Architecture, R. Luke DuBois, associate professor of integrated design and media at New York University; artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed; Andrew Kudless, professor at University of Houston and founder of Matsys; and Zach Lieberman, professor at MIT Media Lab.
