Melbourne Conversations: The God We Made

  • Free
  • Talk

Note: ticket allocation exhausted, waitlist only.

In this special edition of Melbourne Conversations, author and musician Anna Goldsworthy discusses her new Quarterly Essay, The God We Made. Here, she considers how artificial intelligence is reshaping culture in its own image.

What does it mean for creativity, connection and artmaking when machine learning begins to shape the world around us? This contemplative discussion will be accompanied by a musical performance from Goldsworthy, composed as an artistic response to the ideas explored in her work, bringing theory into direct dialogue with human art making.

Light refreshments provided.

The God We Made is presented by Melbourne Conversations with event partners Now or Never, The Wheeler Centre and Fed Square.
