About the talk:

Marcin Strzelecki is a lecturer, composer, programmer, researcher of music culture and critic. He is interested in the influences on human creativity, from evolutionary and genetic to neural, psychological, environmental and cultural factors. He is exploring the question of how the new technologies of conversion have changed the mentality and creativity of human beings, as today's knowledge and technology already allows us to create music in an artificial way, based completely on algorithms. So if breaking the rules is an essential element of art, is it possible (or will it ever be possible) to teach machines to do the same? How will the adoption of technology influence how we view artists and their role in society?

Recorded during: TEDxKraków 2011
