We had to cancel the Medea Talks we had planned for the spring, and we took a break also with our podcast serie Medea Vox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our main public event last year consisted of a two day symposium with the title <em>Artificial Creativity<\/em>, with my colleague Bojana Romic as main organizer. Even though we originally had conceived of the event as a physical event in Malm\u00f6, luckily enough we were able to remake it into an online event before we sent out our call for papers. This meant that we were able to attract participants from five continents. We also put in effort in making the symposium into more than just zoom talks, creating (together with Maria Engberg, TS, and guest professor Jay Bolter) an interactive three-dimensional space where participants could meet and chat as avatars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/nyttfranks\/files\/2021\/02\/Medea.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/nyttfranks\/files\/2021\/02\/Medea.jpg 740w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/nyttfranks\/files\/2021\/02\/Medea-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogg.mah.se\/nyttfranks\/files\/2021\/02\/Medea-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption><em>The Medea crew at the Artificial Creativity conference.<\/em> <br><em>Photo: Bo Reimer<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to have the symposium run as smoothly as possible, all participants had to prerecord a 12 minute video with their presentation, which was shown before a discussion. The videos were also subtitled. A lot of work, but worthwhile.

There will be talks and discussions and live music with both academics, musicians and actors from the music industry involved.
