Rebooting the Muse: Performing Arts in the Age of Intelligence

Rebooting the Muse: Performing Arts in the Age of Intelligence

Rebooting the Muse: Performing Arts in the Age of Intelligence brings together Steve Cook from Realities Extended (Re-Ex) with Professor Anna Goldsworthy and Associate Professor Luke Harrald from the Elder Conservatorium of Music, to explore what creativity means in an era shaped by exponential technologies. From AI-generated music to immersive simulations, the performing arts are entering uncharted territory. How does these shifts affect our wellbeing, our sense of identity, and our relationship with meaning? This provocative discussion examines the role of art as a uniquely human response to technological change, and asks: what does creativity offer that machines cannot? A timely conversation for anyone curious about the future of culture, consciousness, and human connection.
