Audiovisual Talks: Storytelling - from generic to authentic with the help of AI

-
TBD and online

SAVE THE DATE! At the next Audiovisual Talks, Tatjana Samopjan visits us to explore with the audience the relationship between imagination and lived experience, embodied intelligence, ability to hold multiple perspectives both emotionally and cognitively, as well the importance of non-narrative mental states. All of it necessary for a present-day storyteller who aims beyond the generic and the predictable.

Welcome to Audiovisual Talks on September 12-13

Tatjana Samopjan is a creative consultant and speaker specialising in development of storytelling. In her talk, she is trying to understand the challenge that will affect the audiovisual industries: One way is to squarely look at the the issue of generic, mediocre storytelling and its chances to keep generating jobs, revenue, salaries and fees in the age of AI. Opportunities will be there too, but for fewer creatives than before. What makes the difference between becoming obsolete and staying relevant and even thriving in this new landscape? Times are changing. When it comes to convincing creative expression, there’s a new kid on the block. With minimal human input AI will soon be able to do what an average creative does on any given day - only much more quickly and for a fraction of the cost. How could storytelling move from generic to authentic with the help of AI?

Limited seats workshop

Attached to the seminar we will also offer a workshop with limited seats.

The workshop is taking place two half days 12-13th of September, lead by Tatjana Samopjan, Creative Consultant specialising in development of film, TV series and documentaries and Andrea Nordwall, Lecturer, Media Technology and Program Director, Digital Visual Production at Blekinge Institute of Technology.

In the workshop Tatjana Samopjan and Andrea Nordwall will explore the potential impact of AI on both small and big actors, from streamlining production processes to enhancing creative possibilities. They will discuss the rise of generative AI consumers, who could utilise AI tools to generate personalised content, and critically examine the value and challenges of maintaining artistic intention in the face of advancing technology. We will test some relevant AI tools and train our eyes to spot both the creative opportunities and less than obvious pitfalls. The aim is to familiarise ourselves with the AI-powered tools while sharpening our capacity for artistic discernment and authentic storytelling.
