Graduate Student Talk: Manaswi Mishra

Join Manaswi Mishra, a PhD candidate in the Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab for a conversation around Steina: Playback.

Manaswi will demonstrate a radical way of using voice and gesture to shape music using AI models in a live performance as a method to better understand Steina’s experimental analog manipulations of sound and signal since the 1970s. He will share insights into his research at the Opera of the Future, a research group focused on building new AI musical instruments for live performance in operas, symphonies, and beyond. A place to envision a future where technology expands creative potential, revealing new sonic dimensions and performance possibilities far beyond its traditional use in automation, displacement and manufacturing media.

This will be a hybrid event with a live video that can be streamed here at 5:30 PM.
