The concepts and tools of AI, human-computer interaction and situationally-aware machines continue to move further from the realm of science-fiction and into the hands of artists, musicians, writers, scientists and DIY enthusiast. As this happens robots and new media are being used to redefine artistic mediums and create highly-personal expressions. Automated Biographies is a creative technology symposium exploring the role of technology in the creation of autobiographical and biographical artworks. This panel and group discussion will introduce several examples of alternative uses of technology and media to explore illness, identity and life in the margins of culture. The panel is open to the public with a suggested donation of $5.
