With a background as a (graphic) designer (MA Arts in Design at Sandberg Instituut), Van den Houten\u2019s&nbsp;way of working has a design research mentality and a foundation in media theory, where the machine is always in control over the outcome. Self-built generative systems, chance-based procedures, ever-changing data streams and co-creation with (non)human actors are deeply embedded in her creative practice.&nbsp; Telemagic perform&nbsp;concerts led by artificial intelligence, make interactive installations that dream through museum archives and generative oracles that predict possible futures.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van den Houten\u2019s&nbsp;<em>aleatory.agent<\/em>&nbsp;residency project aims to explore the integration of algorithmic chance operations in the creation of visual art through computer-controlled machines. Unlike typical AI art tools, this&nbsp;project emphasizes the physical interaction between the artist, audience, and machine, developing playful methodologies that embrace the unexpected with algorithms as the primary creative force. The outcome will be a toolkit of animistic instruments playable during performances, introducing randomness to guide both robots (like 3d printers, CNC cutters, drawing bots and plotters) and myself in real-time creation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cyanne van den Houten was an UmArts TAIGA Artist Researcher in Residence in January 2025 developing new Art and AI micro-projects investigating Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as part of the Art and AI Working Group.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyanne van den Houten\u00a0is a queer media artist based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and founder of the art-meets-tech collective Telemagic.\u00a0Van den Houten\u00b4s practice revolves around the parallels between magic and technology, exploring the synthetic connection between humans and machines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-1703","artist-in-residence","type-artist-in-residence","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist-in-residence\/1703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist-in-residence"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist-in-residence"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.romulusstudio.com\/umarts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
