Chicago Creative Machines is a free, public lecture-performance series featuring artists who use machine learning and ML-adjacent tools and techniques in their creative practices. Each event consists of a technical lecture/demonstration by the artist of their tools followed by a performance of work they’ve created using those tools. No previous knowledge of machine learning, coding, algorithms, or computation is required!

This Sunday’s Chicago Creative Machines features sculpture and video artist Caitlyn Min-ji Au. She will present a talk about indeterminacy and her work-in-progress with roombas.
