Event overview
'What if the Ghost in the Machine is a Machine: Some Philosophical Thoughts on Improvising Machine Systems' Co-hosted by Music and Politics
Eric Lewis's present research focuses on the philosophy of improvised music. He is the McGill University (Canada) site coordinator for ICASP (Improvisation, Community and Social Research), a major international research project with primary funding from the SSHRC MCRI program. He is actively recruiting graduate students interested in this project, for which there are numerous funding possibilities.
He is presently completing two book projects, the first on the ontology of improvised music, the second an edited collection on Improvisation and Social Aesthetics, and he is also actively involved in the creation and curation of improvised art exhibits, and an active improvising musician. Broader research interests include the philosophy of music more generally, aesthetics, philosophy of copyright, and a host of interdisciplinary approaches to art, culture and society.
Open to all, not just for graduates!
