ELIS 2019 Special Performance & Talk: Woon Seung Yeo

Music, they say, is the art of time. Yet the bounds of both art and time is changing in this age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Music and sound are being made visible in ways we could not even imagine before. AI can compose music virtually indistinguishable from Chopin, Mozart, and Bach. The shifting boundary of music and art is momentous in its potential horrors as well as opportunities. Because despite the fundamental questions raised about the nature of art and even that of humanity itself, these scientific developments open up a dizzying array of possibilities in how we express, feel, and share. In short, a new world is upon us all.
