Kate Compton // OSSTA Lecture Series, 4/26/2021
During Spring 2021, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Clinic for Open-Source Arts, the STUDIO hosted a group of creative technologists who are developing Open-Source Software Toolkits for the Arts (#OSSTA). From April 26th through 29th, 2021, our guests delivered a series of free evening presentations about the free tools they’ve been working to realize—and the creative practices that have motivated them to create these new tools. Kate Compton (@GalaxyKate) is a long-time generative artist, inventor, programmer and assistant professor of instruction at Northwestern University. She wrote the first paper on procedural platform-game levels, generated the planets for the video game Spore, created the language Tracery which runs over 10000 community-made bots on Twitter and invented an early phone-based AR system. Her mission is to design artificial intelligence to augment human creativity and to create tools that brings AI into the hands of poets, artists, kids and weirdos. http://www.galaxykate.com/
