"Improvising With Creative Machines: Reflections on Human-Machine Interaction"
The ever-widening role of interactive digital systems in a globalized cultural, social, and economic environment is now being complemented by a similarly wide-ranging retheorization of how the primordial human practice of improvisation produces knowledge and meaning. Because both improvisation and computing serve as important sites for interdisciplinary exploration in the arts and sciences, a twinned theorizing of improvisation and interactivity will help to illuminate the ways in which new and more powerful forms of computer interactivity are challenging traditional conceptions of human identity, physicality, sociality, agency, history, and power.
George E. Lewis is the Edwin H. Case Professor of American Music at Columbia University. The recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship in 2002, an Alpert Award in the Arts in 1999, and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, Lewis studied composition with Muhal Richard Abrams at the AACM School of Music, and trombone with Dean Hey. A member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) since 1971, Lewis's work as composer, improvisor, performer and interpreter explores electronic and computer music, computer-based multimedia installations, text-sound works, and notated and improvisative forms, and is documented on more than 130 recordings. His oral history is archived in Yale University’s collection of “Major Figures in American Music,” and his published articles on music, experimental video, visual art, and cultural studies have appeared in numerous scholarly journals and edited volumes. His widely acclaimed book, A Power Stronger Than Itself: The AACM and American Experimental Music (University of Chicago Press, 2008) is a recipient of the American Book Award (2009), the American Musicological Society’s Music in American Culture Award (2009), and an Award for Excellence in Recorded Sound Research from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (2009).
