The Alliance Francaise Nelson Tasman (@afnelsontasman) looks forward to welcoming the 2023 Te Ataata artist-in-residence Anthony Pillette (@cabanes_du_futur)- an artist, graphic designer, musician and teacher from Marseille, France.
He will be presenting some of his work alongside illustrator and photographer Sophie Abraham at the Refinery ( @the_refineryartspace) on the 21st of September from 5 pm.
Pillette is a member of the Reso-nance numérique association( https://reso-nance.org/), a collective of artists who work with open-source technology and are involved in the Hackerspace movement in France.
Pillette combines artificial intelligence with historic photos and cyanotype printing, to explore the biases of new technology and stereotypes of representation.
He will also make use of the ‘Spectral Synth Scanner’ - a device created by the Reso-nance collective, which generates music from pictures. He is working on this scanner synthesizer device that produces sound from scanned images and projects them in real-time, somewhat like a reversed spectrogram.
Sophie does graphic scores for the scanner synthesizer, printed in cyanotype, which they used for the gig at Audiofoundation. (@autartanddesign @audio.foundation

Workshop: Ai vs Cyanotype modular 1.5hr This workshop aims to create futuristic architectural representations using geometric shapes from on-site photographs and combining them with images images generated by Artificial Intelligence software. These imaginary compositions respond to the standards and aesthetic norms of contemporary and aesthetic norms of contemporary construction, while raising economic and social social issues. We'll use random generation and deep learning techniques to imagine futuristic forms to imagine futuristic forms and explore possible scenarios, taking into account climate-related scientific data. Booking essential - limited spaces $25

Artificial Intelligence and Creativity" conference Presentation, demonstration and discussion of generative Artificial Intelligence (text, image, sound, video) to understand their possible uses, the issues at stake and the players involved. These creative tools raise major questions: how can they be used, and what impact will they have on the creative professions? We'll also look at the ethical and social issues associated with the widespread use of these tools, and discuss the possibilities for creative use and their consequences. Booking essential $10

Concert/ Demo: Spectral Synth Scanner
Concert and demonstration of an instrument consisting of a hand-held image scanner that converts images into sound. Images scanned in real time are projected using a video projector, creating a synesthetic visual narrative a synesthetic visual narrative that harmonizes with the generated sound, offering the possibility of collaboration with other musicians. The scanned images selected will be the result of an elaborate graphic creation based on the surrounding landscape and architecture, revealing the multiple identities and temporalities of natural or urban landscapes. identities and temporalities of New Zealand's natural and urban landscapes.

Anthony is also known as Fenshu for his IDM compositions and has collaborated with labels such as Warp Records and Wrong Music as a graphic designer and musician.
The annual Te Ataata Residency programme is a joint initiative between AUT’s School of Art and Design (@autartanddesign), the School of Future Environments (@aut_sofe) and the French Embassy in New Zealand, with the support of Institut Français.
Each year, a practice-based French scholar is invited to work alongside their AUT peers on interdisciplinary art-science research, with access to the same facilities, expertise, and materials as staff during their stay in Aotearoa. We look forward to continuing to welcome many more artists from the Residence in Nelson.
Workshop (limited # spaces): 5pm till 6.30
Conference/ talk: from 6.30pm (nibbles/ beverages - 7pm start) till 8pm
