DESCRIPTION:There will be a 2-day workshop on Sound/Movement/AI\, co-taught
  by Grisha Coleman (Professor in Movement/Science&Technology Studies\, join
 ing MIT this Spring 🎉) and Anna Huang (Professor in Music\, EECS)\, now sch
 eduled for Jan 26 (M) and 28 (W). Sign up here to join and to learn more!\n
 \n Including guided movement and voice sessions\, readings and discussions\
 , along with 'hackathon' sessions with sound models. There will be food!\n\
 n*Important note: Wear comfortable/warm clothes (layers are best!) that you
  feel happy laying on the floor – as well as everyone bring a computer.\n\n
  \n\nDates: Jan 26 (Monday) and 28 (Wednesday) [time TBD]\n\n \n\nWho: Call
 ing for musicians\, dancers\, improvisers\, choreographers\, theater folk\,
  designers\, writers\, creative coders and engineers\, as well as students 
 of anthropology\, STS (science\, technology\, and society)\, philosophy\, h
 istory. In this course we will practice\, build\, and critically reflect on
  our practice\; which calls for a interdisciplinary cohort. Folks from MIT\
 , Harvard\, Wellesley etc. are all welcome!\n\n \n\nWhere: Theater building
  (W97)\n\n \n\nWe will be limiting the number of participants to emphasize 
 a focused and intimate group. Sign up by Thursday (Jan 22th) 5pm and we'll 
 let you know by Friday (Jan 23th) noon! \n\n \n\n~~~~~\n\nContext: \n\n \n\
 nGrisha and Anna will be co-teaching a new class in Fall 2026. This worksho
 p will help shape how we approach the class.\n\nCourse title: Alignments of
  Attention: Creative Practice across Systems\n\nDescription: This class pro
 poses that the study of sound and movement systems can inform how we build 
 and envision computational systems\, particularly our relationship to AIs.\
 n\nAIs are built on models of learning in an effort to "mirror" our process
 es of learning as human beings. This class is interested in a multiplicity 
 of approaches to understand and intervene in the creative and practices of 
 both human expression and computational learning. We explore metaphoric\, m
 aterial and process based synchronicity across learning systems.\n\nWhat wi
 ll we do in class to research these potentials? Why would it make a differe
 nce both to the creative practices\, the technological developments\, and m
 ost crucially\, the reflective potential for the network/interaction? These
  questions and more will be posed and generated during the course of the wo
 rkshop - please join us!
