With a foreword by Anna Gissler, CEO of Stockholm Business Region, and Sigbritt Carlsson, Rector of KTH, a series of luminaries open a week of innovation at the junction between disciplines. Danica Kragic kickstarts #MTFLabs with a speech about AI, followed by Imogen Heap on Mycelia and blockchain, Airan Berg on blurring the boundaries between science and art, Carl and Åsa Unander-Scharin on their drone opera project, Luke Ritchie from the London Philharmonia on VR performance,  and Nokia Bell Labs Artist-in-Residence Reeps One on beatboxing and neural networks. Première of new work by kinetic sculptor and Scott Polar Research Institute Artist in Residence Kat Austen, in collaboration with music technologist Servando Barreiro. Introductions to the #MTFLabs and the extraordinary R1 Nuclear Reactor Hall by Leif Handberg and Michela Magas.

Earlier this year Reeps One, Artist in Residence at Nokia Bell Labs, began an experiment, training a machine to emulate his voice. The Deep Learning AI system was able to not only replicate his composition but predict what would follow.

An intimate evening with performance and talks by one of the greatest innovators of our time bridging science and art. Imogen will talk us through her performance with a grand piano, MiMu gloves and a range of Mycelia technologies. We will hear the latest from the blockchain labs, and consider new ways for managing artist rights and data.

ALong-term collaborator at the DWINGELOO RADIO TELESCOPE (NE), Martine-Nicole Rojina (GER), performs live in collaboration with Jan van Muijlwijk (NE) and Harry Keizer (NE) of CAMRAS,  using one of the world’s first radio astronomy antennas to bounce the human voice and musical instruments from the surface of the moon. The waves which travel through space together with the surface structure of the moon “colour” the transmitted signals in a very characteristic way revealing the lunar voice.
