GROUPTHINK is a live networked performance by sitarist Shama Rahman, guitarist Mick Grierson and video generated by an AI trained on the National Gallery's collection. We aimed to experience an 'Internet of Neurons' where humans and AI share creativity. Streamed live by Ars Electronica, networked participants from around the world ‘made art with their hearts’ through webcams that detected their cardiac rhythms and were incorporated into the performance.

Join us to watch the GROUPTHINK screening and then participate in a Q&A with Ali Hossaini, Shama Rahman, Olive Gingrich, Luca Viganò and Diego Sempreboni.

This event is in-person only. Please register on Eventbrite.

This event is part of the King's Festival of Artificial Intelligence, running from Wednesday 24 to Sunday 28 May 2023, which brings together speakers, exhibits, demos and screenings in an exciting programme of events. Take a look at the other events here.

Festival event times may be subject to change. Any changes will be communicated to registrants via Eventbrite emails.

Please note, King's events are free, which means we routinely overbook to allow for no-shows and avoid empty seats. Admission is on a first come, first served basis, so please arrive in good time to avoid disappointment. We will not be able to admit those without tickets or latecomers.
