Creative AI Hackathon 1.0

16.05.26 · AI.AM (de Hubb), Jacob Bontiusplaats 9

The first run of the Creative AI Hackathon. Editors, animators, musicians, designers, 3D and film people took one day to build with AI on the theme Dreams, then demoed to a jury of three. Nineteen complete films existed by the evening that had not existed that morning.
