A central stage with four chairs, and one left empty for you to sit in. The subject of discussion, as always, will be AI & Music as we host our annual Open Forum, featuring artists, scientists, technologists and everyone who wants to join in. 

This is not a panel. There will be no one reciting a pre-prepared speech to the audience. When you have something to say, you can sit in the empty chair. When you’ve finished, head back to your seat and allow someone else to take over. Ideas flow best when there’s room for spontaneous expression.

On the table are questions that actually matter today. What remains of human creativity when part of the process can be delegated? What does it mean to have your own when machines are learning everyone’s voice at once? Does  post-AI-sensibility exist? Have we lost interest, and why? Which questions are we asking now that we were not asking five years ago? And which ones should we have asked earlier? 

Do not expect conclusions or solutions, but rather disagreements, half-cooked ideas, and with a bit of luck, something you have never heard before. 

Bring your own questions (or comments, opinions, feelings, ideas) The empty chair for you to sit in whenever you want.
