Event Details

Wednesday 10 June 2026, 10:30 - 15:30

CoSTAR Live Lab, Production Park, South Kirkby, Pontefract WF9 3NR

This workshop explores how AI can move beyond impressive but unreliable outputs towards tools that are controllable, editable, and genuinely useful in creative production. Bringing together perspectives on physically grounded generative models and steerable, node-based production workflows, it considers how AI can better support diverse creative practices.

The workshop will cover controllable and production-ready generative AI, physically grounded and steerable AI methods, creative AI workflows for content generation and editing, and reliable, repeatable, editable, and directable AI outputs.

SPEAKERS

  • Giuseppe Claudio Guarnera, Chief Scientific Officer at Lumirithmic
  • Patrick Lewis, Specialist in AI for the Creative Industries
  • Alan Pedrassoli Chitayat, Postdoctoral Research Associate, CoSTAR Live Lab

Two ceramic-like hands grip and pull on delicate threads that emerge from a "woven circuit board." The contrast between the rigid, heavy material of the hands and the soft, fragile threads creates a visual paradox, symbolising the insertion of human touch into the mechanised world. The image evokes a sense of personified anonymity, questioning whose histories and labours are being revealed or concealed when the threads of technology are pulled.
