What they’re bringing
Philippe Pasquier, professor and director of the Metacreation Lab at SFU. He’ll talk about making art with AI without handing it authorship, and what new forms of expression show up when artists stay in the loop.

About Philippe Pasquier
Philippe Pasquier is a French-Canadian artist, researcher, and professor at Simon Fraser University, where he directs the Metacreation Lab for Creative AI. His work brings together artificial intelligence, computational creativity, and the arts, with a particular focus on human-AI co-creation. For more than two decades, he has developed creative AI systems for music, visual arts, and interactive media, and performed and exhibited that work at Ars Electronica, the Centre Pompidou, ZKM, and MUTEK. His lab also releases tools for artists, like Autolume, an open-source, no-code visual synthesizer you train on a small set of your own images. He directed the Vancouver edition of the International Symposium on Electronic Arts in 2015, and he makes music as Monobor. His research combines artistic practice with critical inquiry, investigating how AI can augment (not replace) human creativity while fostering new forms of cultural expression.
