----------------------

The AI meetup series is an informal meeting event to discuss, present and challenge various topics in the rapidly expanding field of AI and related domains. The meetups are intended both for enthusiasts, artists, creative minds as well as professionals, researchers working with and/or in AI.

During these meetups we offer participants to present a specific topic, use case, work in progress where AI plays a central role. The meetups are free to join but registration is required. If you would like to present a certain topic let us know beforehand via aW5mbyB8IHZhbGVyeXZlcm1ldWxlbiAhIG5ldA== and we'll go over the practical details such as timing and duration of your presentation.

For the second meetup we are thrilled to host a presentation by artist/researcher Umut Eldem who is currently doctoral researcher at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, and musical director at the international theater company Mixed and United.

Umut Eldem is a composer, pianist, and researcher who uses AI and related techniques in his work. His compositional work and research emphasize the exploration of Synesthesia as an artistic medium. He began his undergraduate studies in music at the Mimar Sinan State Conservatory in Istanbul, under the guidance of teachers Hasan Uçarsu and Mehmet Nemutlu. As an Erasmus student, he also studied for one year under the guidance of teacher Francesco Telli at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome. After obtaining his bachelor's degree in composition, he continued his studies in Belgium and began a master's degree in composition at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp under the guidance of teachers Wim Henderickx and Luc van Hove. Here he began his postgraduate research 'The building blocks of cross-modal analytical thinking', on the applicability of Synesthesia and color as an inter-sensory musical concept.

As such, he has lectured on his research on synesthesia, and presented his audiovisual work and installations, combining sound and color, in Belgium, Turkey, Romania, Luxembourg and Russia, among other countries. In 2020 he won the 7th Sampo Composition Competition in France. His doctoral research 'Synesthesia and Sound-Color Associations as An Interdisciplinary Metaphor', with support from the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, explored ways of using Synesthesia as an interdisciplinary analysis and musical performance method.

Umut Eldem also plays keyboard with the music groups Starblind = Eathbound and Transport Aerian. His recent research 'The Hearing Glass: Synesthetic Correspondences in Musical Practice' aims to develop the results of his previous research into an inter-sensory theory of audiovisual art.
