PERSON IN TOUCH 002: VADIM EPSTEIN

WE PRESENTS NEW ONLINE EVENTS: PERSON IN TOUCH.

Practicing Media Artist will presents their work. 
Artificial neural networks invaded our life and occupied nearly every area with a great success. The pace of the corresponding news and changes becomes overwhelming every now and then. The most notable revolution happened recently [and keeps happening right now] with the arrival of multimodal foundation models, which have radically changed the landscape and the whole paradigm of AI/ML exploration. Instead of separate instruments for certain tasks we got the versatile know-it-all models, applicable to the widest task ranges out of the box. The new kind of tools, which we acquire now, have both pushed tremendous creativity power to everybody, and therefore dramatically raised requirements to the professional artists. 
This talk will guide you through the advances in the visual AI/ML art, illustrated with the personal projects and artworks — from the old-school niche tricks to the ultramodern and widely spread methods. 

We will also discuss the possibilities to provide a class on the learning practical visual AI/ML applications.
