Machine Cinema SF Work-In-Progress Salon
Do you have an AI video or creative AI empowered art project you're working on that you'd like to share with the Machine Cinema AI community? Would you like feedback on your work? Or, are you just curious to see what other folks are creating and to learn how they're doing it?
The Work-in-Progress Salon is your opportunity to present your work to a group of fellow AI creators and enthusiasts. And for audience members, it's a chance to look "under the hood" and learn how local AI artists are creating their work. Six AI creators will share their work with the group, and then each will have a Q&A with the audience. The salon will conclude with a networking mixer.
