Eleanor Selfridge-Field: Symposia, Conference Sessions

Human vs Computer Creativity: Music

The seven videos linked here come from the multipart symposium on Human vs Computer Creativity, moderated by Douglas R. Hofstadter in the autumn of 1997. The series was sponsored by the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities, primarily under the guidance of Eleanor Selfridge-Field. Video-taping was provided by Stanford Television for closed-circuit transmission. Links given here contained filmed material transferred from its VHS recordings and are made available by ScholarWorks at Indiana University. Most segments are roughly 90 minutes long.
