AI and the Changing Landscape of Art-Making w/ Tony Vieira

A Life Well LIT

In today’s episode I’m having a conversation with Tony Vieira. He’s a musician, educator, composer, multi-disciplinary artist whose projects always have an interesting philosophical idea behind them. After completing his undergrad in Jazz performance, he did a masters in Composition, which led him in a winding path to collaborating in Augmented Reality projects. He then completed his PhD exploring some fascinating stuff including sound mediation through technology, place making through listening, and location aware media and sound, and storytelling using space as an active character. I love this conversation for so many reasons, including the fact that he often answers questions with stories or references to works of art, but I especially love that I got to ask him about some things that have been on my mind recently regarding Artificial Intelligence and how he sees that interacting with and changing the landscape for artists in the coming decades. So here you go - a conversation with an inspiring maker of art and my good friend, Tony Vieira.
