Lab Events & Symposia

Computational Artifice brings together work at the intersection of AI, procedural generation, interactive narrative, and computational media. Rather than treating computation as a tool for seamless realism, the symposium asks how artifice itself can become expressive through rules, simulations, generative systems, authored constraints, and algorithmic surprises that produce new forms of agency, performance, and meaning. The event explores how constructed intelligences and procedural worlds can reveal, rather than conceal, the expressive machinery of digital media.
