Automating creativity — DocumentaMadrid

Seminar on documentary film and artificial intelligence within DocumentaMadrid, built around a question that is easy to state and hard to answer. Whether machines can help us be more creative.

The programme ran in three parts. The first, led by Luba Elliott, curator, artist and researcher specialising in artificial intelligence in the creative industries, went through artists and works from contemporary art to show what was already being made with these tools. Elliott has collaborated with The Photographers’ Gallery, the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence and Google.

The second part, given by Jorge Caballero, filmmaker, teacher and researcher, focused on documentary and examined through concrete examples what automation allowed inside a real production. The third closed with an analysis of automatic processes applied to audiovisual writing.

The seminar set out to bring these concepts to a non-specialist audience at a moment, 2019, when the conversation about AI and creation was only beginning to leave technical circles.

Cinemateca Bogotá

Artificio — Creativity and AI workshop (Cinemateca de Bogotá)

Workshop | 2020 | Bogotá, Colombia

Workshop on creativity and artificial intelligence organised by the Cinemateca de Bogotá together with Gusano Films, aimed at creators from different disciplines.

The call, titled Artificio, combined a general overview of artificial intelligence with practical work. Each participant developed an individual project across the sessions using Runway, so that the training ended in a piece of their own rather than in a demonstration.

It was led by Jorge Caballero, co-founder of Gusano Films, based in Barcelona and Bogotá, whose films and immersive and interactive projects have been awarded and selected at international festivals, and who has twice won Colombia’s National Documentary Award. He teaches and tutors expanded documentary on the Master’s in Theory and Practice of Creative Documentary at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and has given workshops at Latin American festivals including DOCSDF in Mexico.

This workshop belongs to the training strand Artefacto and Gusano have been developing in Latin America, aimed at putting the tool in the hands of those who create rather than only those who program.
