Andreas Refsgaard is an artist and creative coder based in Copenhagen. He uses algorithms and machine learning to make unconventional connections between inputs and outputs. He describes how machine learning has become an integrated part of the design practice. By enabling people to train their own unique controls for a system, the creative power shifts from the designer of the system to the person interacting with it. Through Anrdreas’ innovative way of creating by machine learning, people can play music using only eye movement and facial gestures, control games by making silly sounds, transform drawings of musical instruments on paper into real compositions, and train algorithms to decide what is funny, funky or boring.<br /><br />For more information about Design Matters’ talks, conventions, and events, visit designmatters.io.
