  • Peter Johnston 2011
    The London School Of Improvised Economics - Peter Johnston 2011 This excerpt from my dissertation was included in the reader for the course MUS 211: Music Cultures of the City at Ryerson University. Introduction The following reading is a reduction of a chapter from my dissertation, which is titled Fields of Production and Streams of Conscious: Negotiating the Musical and Social Practices of Improvised Music in London, England. The object of my research for this work was a group of musicians living in London who self-identified as improvisers, and who are part of a distinct music scene that emerged in the mid-1960s based on the idea of free improvisation. Most of this research was conducted between Sept 2006 and June 2007, during which time I lived in London and conducted interviews with both older individuals who were involved in the creation of this scene, and with younger improvisers who are building on the formative work of the previous generation. This chapter addresses the practical aspects of how improvised music is produced in London, and follows a more theoretical analysis in the previous chapters of why the music sounds like it does. Before moving on to the main content, it will be helpful to give a brief explanation of two of the key terms that occur throughout this chapter: “free improvisation” and the “improvised music field.” “Free improvisation” refers to the creation of musical performances without any pre- determined materials, such as form, tonality, melody, or rhythmic feel. This practice emerged out of developments in jazz in the late 1950s and early 1960s, particularly in the work of Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor, who began performing music without using the song-forms, harmonic progressions, and steady rhythms that characterized jazz until that time.

Without a doubt, Cobra is Zorn’s most popular and well-known composition and one that has enjoyed remarkable success and innumerable performances all over the world since its premiere in late 1984 at the New York City club, Roulette. Some noteworthy performances of Cobra include those played by a group of jazz journalists and critics, an all-women performance, and a hip-hop ver- sion as well!1 At the same time, Cobra is routinely played by students in colleges and universities all over the world, ensuring that the work will continue to grow and evolve in the years to come.

  • On the Danger of Artificial Intelligence
    On The Danger of Artificial Intelligence Saba Samiei A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Computing and Information Sciences (MCIS) July 2019 School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences 1 | P a g e Abstract In 2017, the world economic forum announced that AI would increase the global economy by USD 16 trillion by 2030 (World Economic Forum, 2017). Yet, at the same time, some of the world’s most influential leaders warned us about the danger of AI. Is AI good or bad? Of utmost importance, is AI an existential threat to humanity? This thesis examines the latter question by breaking it down into three sub-questions, is the danger real?, is the defence adequate?, and how a doomsday scenario could happen?, and critically reviewing the literature in search for an answer. If true, and sadly it is, I conclude that AI is an existential threat to humanity. The arguments are as follows. The current rapid developments of robots, the success of machine learning, and the emergence of highly profitable AI companies will guarantee the rise of the machines among us. Sadly, among them are machines that are destructive, and the danger becomes real. A review of current ideas preventing such a doomsday event is, however, shown to be inadequate and a futuristic look at how doomsday could emerge is, unfortunately, promising! Keywords: AI, artificial intelligence, ethics, the danger of AI. 2 | P a g e Acknowledgements No work of art, science, anything in between or beyond is possible without the help of those currently around us and those who have previously laid the foundation of success for us.

  • A Co-Lab on Developing Cyborg Arts – Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Practice Based Solutions
    VOL. 6, NO. 1, 2018 – Page 55-65 DOI 10.5278/ojs.jpblhe.v6i1.1948 A Co-Lab on Developing Cyborg Arts – Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Practice Based Solutions Ellen Pearlman * ABSTRACT A co-lab in Cyborg Arts was conducted at Parsons/New School University, a leading design school in New York City, over the course of sixteen weeks. This paper discusses the use of Bruno Latour’s Actor Network Theory (ANT) (Latour, 2007) in facilitating creative collaboration solutions. Previously, an open call had been placed in targeted venues such as Art and Education, as well as a number of technology user groups in the New York City area to solicit ideas and participants. With the assistance of the Cyborg Foundation three teams were chosen to build prototypes of a new cyborg sense: Team Glass, Team Radiation, and Team Haptics. Team Glass strove to make a cyborg sense detecting the rhythm of changes in the sun’s solar flares. Team Radiation made a sense that distinguished between, and alerted the user to different types of organic and inorganic radiation in the environment. Team Haptics used the team leader’s own body as a site environment to correct a medical problem by developing a new cyborg sense. Students from Parsons chose which team to work with. Experts and guests either visited the co-lab in person, or used Skype to converse with the participants throughout the course of the semester. Registered Parsons students stayed committed to the lab in order to receive a grade. Other participants had various reasons to remain involved, such as learning new skills, seeing their ideas realized, or stepping outside of their core discipline.
