CEO of Saudi Music Commission: Music and Art at the Forefront of Technological Innovation - AI and Web3
During the Outer Edge summit in Riyadh, experts discussed the impact of artificial intelligence and Web3 technology on the creative industries, with a focus on music and art.
Paul Pacifico, CEO of the Saudi Music Commission, highlighted music's history of embracing technological innovation and experimenting with new tools.
He used the invention of the piano as an example and emphasized the potential of Web3 to provide greater security and data control for musicians and artists.
Web3, driven by blockchain technology, is expected to open new horizons for creatives by enhancing security and user control.
AI, or artificial intelligence, is being used extensively in various fields including art.
Pacifico encouraged artists to explore AI and pointed out that it is already being used in streaming platforms, digital music production, and editing software.
The intersection of technology and art was also discussed, with speakers highlighting the potential for immersive experiences that blend the physical and digital worlds.
Saudi artist Khaled Makshoush, who works with digital pixel designs, uses AI as a source of inspiration and a tool to enhance his artistic processes.
The text discusses the use of AI and technology in art creation.
Makshoush explains that some people have negative views towards AI-generated art, but he sees it as a source of inspiration.
He envisions using an AI assistant to help him make decisions based on his previous work.
Melissa Wiederrecht creates art using JavaScript code and Web3 technology.
She finds the potential of Web3 to showcase artwork in new ways exciting.
Artists can use blockchain technology to create unique digital pieces, secure ownership rights, and sell their work to collectors.
Wiederrecht describes her process as having AI select random colors and points, then applying her own style.
Wiederrecht explained that she can create an algorithm generating infinitely unique pieces of art from the same code.
The art pieces resemble each other but are distinct.
Pacifico emphasized the importance of establishing a foundation that allows future generations to have greater access to expression and a circular economy, enabling more artistic freedom for all.
