Research Strands

Research Strand 01

Posthumanism and Assemblage Theory

Lead researcher

Paulo de Assis

RS1 investigates what happens to music, creativity, and artistic practice when we decenter the human, embrace technological agency, and think in terms of assemblages rather than works.

Research Strand 02

Decentralised Creativity: Algorithmic Agency

Lead researcher

Martin Zeilinger

RS2 studies how AI and blockchain enable new forms of distributed authorship and tactical interventions that challenge intellectual property regimes and human-centered creative agency.

Research Strand 03

New Creative Practices with AI and Blockchain

Lead researcher

Adam Łukawski

RS3 explores practice-based research on composition with agential AI, the creative use of smart contracts, algorithmic workflows, and particalisation of music.

Research Strand 04

Experimental Creative Lab

Lead researchers

Paulo de Assis, Martin Zeilinger, Adam Łukawski

RS4 is a creative and experimental lab that brings together insights and results from the other three research strands, aiming at the generation of new musical entities that can take the form of prototypes, musical works, installations and performances.
