  The Uncanny Muse - Music Art and...

  The Uncanny Muse explores the history of automation in the arts and delves into one of the most momentous and controversial aspects of AI: artificial creativity. The adoption of technology and machinery has long transformed the world, but as the potential for artificial intelligence expands, David Hajdu examines the new, increasingly urgent questions about technology's role in culture. 
   
   
   
  Hajdu traces the fascinating, varied ways in which inventors and artists have sought to emulate mental processes and mechanize creative production. For decades, machines and artists have engaged in expressing the human condition—along with the condition of living with machines—through player pianos, broadcasting technology, electric organs, digital movie effects, synthesizers, and motion capture. By communicating and informing human knowledge, the machines have exerted considerable influence on the history of art—and often more influence than humans have been willing to recognize. As Hajdu proclaims: "before machine learning, there was machine teaching." With thoughtful and surprising turns from Berry Gordy and George Harrison to Andy Warhol and Stevie Wonder, David Hajdu takes a novel and contrarian approach: he sees how machines through the ages have enabled creativity, not stifled it—and The Uncanny Muse sees no reason why this shouldn't be the case with AI today.

  Not Just Music─The Enduring Legacy of GothDive deep into the tumultuous era of Margaret Thatcher’s 1980s England and the profound impact of goth on a generation of alienated youthsGoth's emergence defied a political era. As Margaret Thatcher's iron grip tightened around Britain, catalyzed by events like the miners' strikes and the rise of privatization, an unexpected counter-culture began to take root. Bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division, offspring of punk's raw energy, found a way to articulate the disillusionment of the times. Through their evocative sounds and iconography, they ushered in a musical movement that mirrored the societal shifts.Politics and music find an unusual nexus. The story of goth isn't merely a tale of alienated youths or atmospheric tunes. It’s a narrative deeply intertwined with the Yorkshire Ripper's horrors, Sid Vicious's tragedy, and the societal upheavals heralded by Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady. Author Cathi Unsworth paints a vivid tapestry, demonstrating how goth became more than just music—it became a reflection of an era's ethos and spirit.Inside, you'll discover:Deep Political Resonance: How goth's dark melodies interlaced with the Thatcher era, the miners' strikes, and privatization.Goth's Global Footprint: The journey from punk's downfall, marked by Sid Vicious, to the international acclaim of bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees.Enduring Cultural Impact: An examination of goth's lasting legacy amidst alienated youths and Britain's counter-culture movement.Historical Synchronicity: The parallel narrative of the Yorkshire Ripper's reign and goth's rise during Britain's most tumultuous times.If you have read books like The Art of Darkness, Faith Hope and Carnage, Into the Void, or Goth by Lol Tolhurst, you’ll love Season of the Witch.
