This focus risks obscuring a more profound shift. We are entering a&nbsp;new paradigm of creativity \u2013&nbsp;what I call a&nbsp;new WE \u2013&nbsp;in which human imagination, artificial systems, and cultural communities are entangled in novel ways. In this paradigm, creativity is less than ever before about solitary invention and much more about negotiating&nbsp;fields of possibility&nbsp;that are reshaped by algorithms, datasets, and collective forms of imagination. AI becomes not an autonomous creator but a powerful mediator of what can be imagined, produced, and valued. Yet this new WE is not without pitfalls. It brings questions of authorship, agency, and cultural ownership into sharper relief. It risks narrowing rather than widening possibilities if left unexamined, reinforcing biases, privileging efficiency over meaning, and displacing artists rather than empowering them. This keynote argues that embracing the&nbsp;new WE&nbsp;requires both imagination and responsibility to ensure an inclusive, ethical, and sustainable future for creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cinetic.arts.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-3-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5085\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/piotrmirowski.com\/\">PIOTR MIROWSKI<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Piotr Mirowski&nbsp;<\/strong>is the Director of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/improbotics.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Improbotics<\/a>, a theatre company that pioneered improvisation with artificial intelligence and robots on stage, investigating the intersection of AI and human creativity.

The coexistence of naturalism and artifice, of script and improvisation, allowed theatre companies to explore human-AI relationships, while the impressive developments in language and image models have both opened new creative possibilities for artists and surfaced ethical concerns about the impact of generative AI upon the arts. I will discuss AI as a creativity support tool, focusing on live performance with generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) or image generators. I will illustrate the talk with an example of my theater company, Improbotics, that has used AI for improvised comedy since 2016 and engages with the wider public at Edinburgh Fringe, as well as my research on the socio-technical evaluation of generative AI tools for co-writing screenplays, theatre plays and comedy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cinetic.arts.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5086\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boydbranch.com\/\"><strong>BOYD BRANCH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Boyd M.

Designed for two performances at the 2025 George Enescu International Festival, the project enables composer Constantin Basica to generate new music through imagined sounds captured via EEG. Recordings are made with an EMOTIV EPOC X headset equipped with 14 sensors, and a custom seven-layer convolutional neural network processes the resulting 512 \u00d7 14 channel input. The model classifies the imagined sounds and retrieves audio excerpts from Basica\u2019s complete catalogue of recorded works. These excerpts function as prompts for a second AI pipeline, which produces audio that reimagines the composer\u2019s style, effectively turning thought into sound. The concert environment situates this process within an immersive audiovisual setting, where neural activity, personal memory, and machine creativity interact in real time. Beyond its premiere performance, this system contributes to broader discussions on AI, creativity, and human\u2013machine collaboration. The project will also be the subject of a forthcoming Routledge book chapter (2026), offering a more detailed account of its technical development and artistic implications.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cinetic.arts.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5203\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aimas.cs.pub.ro\/people\/adina-magda-florea\/\">ADINA MAGDA FLOREA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adina Magda Florea<\/strong>&nbsp;is Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest and Director of the International Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence of the university.

We will examine recent trends emphasizing human-centered XAI, highlighting ways that restore the artist\u2019s role as the primary visionary.

The collection has been put together within the METRA project (\u201cMeasuring Tragedy: Geographical Diffusion, Comparative Morphology, and Computational Analysis of European Tragic Form\u201d). The project has catalogued 1,350 Romanian-language plays up until this point, with a predicted doubling of this number until the end of the project. However, the seemingly large number of plays is not proportional to their availability and does not correlate with the state of current research in this field. This owes to the fact that a considerable number of plays, notwithstanding their popularity at the time of their performance, did not leave behind a traceable textual copy and, for reasons that we will delve into, are lesser known both to the general public and to Romanian literary historiography. Currently, the DraCor collection hosts only 30 plays; our presentation will present the major hurdles in making the plays available, among others the ambiguities of copyright legislation and the issues with tracing and digitizing physical copies. Ultimately, after overcoming all difficulties of logistics, one of the most daring tasks in making the current RoDraCor corpus available was the painstakingly minute tagging process, made difficult by several linguistic reforms that rendered the OCR especially faulty and unreliable, as well as different formatting issues, which rendered the conversion to the XML structure accepted by DraCor challenging. This lack of total uniformity required the implementation of heuristics, pattern recognition, and in some cases, manual intervention. Building on this corpus, our research advances a novel LLM-based approach to detect addressees, which allows for more expressive visualizations of social networks, with directed edges between characters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinetic.arts.ro\/en\/evenimente\/perceiving-aliveness-in-embodied-ai-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Creating Presence in Embodied AI<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>JAN ZUIDERVELD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-fcfa2984-95ac-424b-b493-e08292899193\"><em>This hands-on workshop explores how to bring AI into dialogue with the physical world through conversational interfaces.
