Re:Generate: AI Artist’s Salon

Experience the latest innovations by artists using generative AI to catalyze limitless creativity.

Can AI be a medium for unique creative expression and real human emotions? Join us for a free First Sunday and find out at this salon-style gathering of artists at the forefront of generative art. Sample new work by leaders in the field as each participant presents their latest AI-driven project, followed by a brief Q&A.

This event features the premiere of break me, ai by Mayank Sanganeria, in which state-of-the-art AI tools guide music and animation to evoke emotional reactions while investigating the nature of intelligence. This work will also remain on view in RAD in the weeks following the event.   

About the Artists

Mayank Sanganeria is a South Asian immigrant musician creating music education tools and AI-generated music and videos. A returning artist in residency for generative music at Berkeley’s Stochastic Lab, his work emphasizes the human perception of the architecture of music and strives to embody the intangible plot through drastically dynamic visuals. Sanganeria holds an undergraduate degree in Physics from IIT Bombay and a master’s degree from Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).

Yuqian Sun is an AI narrative researcher and artist based in London, where she is currently a doctoral candidate at the Royal College of Art. Focusing on the power of language, Yuqian aims to create ‘living’ storytelling experiences through conversational AI, extending beyond games and permeating daily life. Her exploration spans chatbots, games, and experimental art projects. Yuqian’s works have been presented at various tech and art venues, including SIGGRAPH, CVPR, A MAZE, CHI, and Times Square in New York. The winner of the Lumen Prize’s 2023 Student Award, she has also served as a guest panelist at NVIDIA GTC and an invited speaker at Autodesk. 

MetaCher is an artist and musician based in Silicon Valley, known for her innovative work at the intersection of art and technology. Her projects often explore the relationship between AI prompts and human imagination. She has gained significant recognition for her unique approach to integrating AI and audience participation into the creative process, particularly through her concept of “Prompt IS Art.” MetaCher studied sculpture as an undergraduate and earned a master’s degree in new media art in Beijing, subsequently continuing her studies at the University of California, Berkeley.  

Marisa Lu is a Chinese American creative who designs for future hardware by day and moonlights as a VFX artist and illustrator by night, working on projects for clients including FKA Twigs, Cardi B, Normani, and Christina Aguilera. Following her classical training in oil painting and figure drawing, she studied design and human-computer interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. Lu most enjoys thinking through making things and is fascinated by how different mediums — whether physical or digital, deterministic or probabilistic — shape our understanding as we create. 

Michael Shiloh (Israel, UAE, USA) is an artist, engineer, and educator who creates electro-mechanical and conceptual work involving motion, mechanisms, sound, robots, and audience participation while often incorporating discarded or salvaged mechanisms. Shiloh has exhibited, spoken, or taught at the Exploratorium (San Francisco), Imperial College (London), MIT (Boston), Bloomfield Science Museum (Jerusalem), Tsinghua University (Beijing), Paper Crane Labs (Bangalore), The Project Space (Abu Dhabi), and at Maker Faires and conferences worldwide.
