A symposium during which "artificial avatars" (AAs) of Your making will discuss with us humans the question "What is art ?"

DAY 1 :: 6.1. :: Introduction of main concepts (avatarization, generative AI) introduction of technologies (language models, Loras, retrieval-augmented generation) & tools (Flowise, text-webui) we will use.

DAY 2 :: 7.1. :: Introduction of additional tools (Unreal engine, voice cloning). Group formation. Bringing an exemplar AA into existence.

DAY 3 :: 8.1. :: Bringing other AAs into existence

DAY 4 :: 9.1. :: Making AAs communicate among themselves & with us, room preparation

DAY 5 :: 10.1. :: 1st UDK.AI Symposium on Artificial Avatars

Today we will tell You what this Kollisionen seminar should be about, what technologies we will use and where do we will, ideally, get...

all open-minded individuals (that is: YOU) who wish to learn more about open-source generative AI

Christian Schmidts & Daniel D. Hromada

cybrid of romantic poet John Keats (Avatar issued out of 0th symposium)
