What?
Creative Ai has exploded in popularity in the digital space & beyond, opening up new conversations when it comes to authorship, privacy & new ways of working. With Dall-E bursting onto the scene especially, we have seen some incredibly & slightly terrifying creations creep their way onto social media feeds across the world.
But what does it all mean?
Join us at BIMA Beat Scotland | Creative Ai and find out!
In our first BIMA Beat event outside London, we hit Edinburgh to hear from 3 incredible speakers on the science, possibilities & implications of Creative Ai, and how you yourself can harness its power to unleash a new realm of creative possibilities
There’ll be some incredible, inspirational projects discussed and some important insights from several different perspectives that you won’t want to miss.

Theodore Koterwas, Artist
Theodore Koterwas is an artist working with data, physical phenomena and the human body to make things resonate. He seeks to draw critical attention to aspects of daily experience that often go unnoticed but profoundly impact on how we understand each other, technology and the environment.
He received his MFA in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute and has produced work for the Exploratorium, the University of Oxford and the Edinburgh Science Festival. His commission for the 2022 Science Festival saw an AI trained on the handwriting of astronomers scrawl near-realtime astronomical data on a large wall of carbon. His AI generated video installation The Nth Wave was shortlisted for the 2021 Lumen Prize for Art and Technology. Currently he is focused on data visceralisation: experiencing data internally. Somewhere In The Universe It Rains Diamonds (Aether) utilises computer vision to detect cosmic rays so you can feel them in your bones. When Do You Give Yourself Away? captures your pulse and galvanic skin response to generate a multisensory experience unique to you. As Creative AI Artist in Residence for Inspace at the University of Edinburgh and Creative Informatics he is investigating AI through the human body, haptics and gesture.
Lindsey Carr, painter/programmer
Lindsey Carr is a former programmer whose visual art practise draws upon generative sources. The source materials for her latest body of work are the output of an algorithm (StyleGan2) trained on hundreds of images taken from 17th C female dutch still life painters. She is interested in exploring the latent rules governing human creative expression and what makes a creative act authentic vs the output of a series of competing rules.
