Current Season

"One of the world's leading vocal experimentalists" according to The Economist, Harry Yeff is a proud neurodivergent artist known for his thought-provoking lectures that fuse human expression with cutting-edge technology. In his performative lecture format, Harry Yeff, aka Reeps100, explores the future of creativity at the intersection of art, voice, and artificial intelligence (AI). The talk dives into the evolving partnership between humans and machines, offering strategic insights into how artists and technologists can co-create and leverage AI to enrich creative processes. Yeff unpacks the complexities of collaborating with AI, from building trust with intelligent agents, directing the world's first international ballet embracing holistic AI process, to harnessing their potential in ways that enhance rather than replace human intuition. Yeff's work pushes the boundaries of human expression and expands the creative horizon, while laying a foundation for future-forward, human-centered collaboration in an increasingly digital world.
