DESCRIPTION:\n	This event is sold out. \n	\n	With directors Al+Al\, physici
 st Janna Levin\, and other special guests in person \n	\n	\n	Dirs. Al+Al. 
 2012\, 45 mins. World premiere screening. The Creator\, a beautiful and su
 rreal short-form film by award-winning British filmmakers Al+Al\, follows 
 sentient computers from the future on a mystical odyssey to discover their
  creator: legendary computer scientist Alan Turing. Decades ago\, Turing f
 amously asked\, 'Can machines think?' and ever since\, the notion of compu
 ters exceeding human intelligence has transfixed researchers and popular c
 ulture alike. Marking the centenary of Turing’s birth\, The Creator will l
 aunch a wide-ranging conversation among leading computer scientists and ph
 ysicists about the promise and perils of artificial intelligence. \n	\n	\n
 	PARTICIPANT BIOGRAPHIES \n	\n	Al+Al \n	\n	Al Holmes and Al Taylor have be
 en pioneers in using new contemporary computer generated technology\, comb
 ining live action performance with 3-D environments to create dream worlds
  in film. Their work won them the 2009 Liverpool Arts prize. \n\n\n	The tw
 o began working together in 1997. In 2001 Al+Al were awarded a five-year s
 tudio residency by ACME and built a blue screen special effects performanc
 e studio in London. The artists went on to create a body of work commissio
 ned by Film London\, Animate Projects\, Arts Council England and Channel 4
  television exhibiting internationally in galleries\, site-specific instal
 lations\, film festivals and on television. \n\n\n	In 2006 Al+Al moved the
 ir blue screen studio into the first passenger station in the world at Edg
 e Hill in Liverpool. Inspired by the historical and technological signific
 ance of the site\, Al+Al transformed the Station buildings into a space fo
 r the arts. In 2008 their critically-acclaimed solo exhibition commissione
 d by FACT gallery for the European capital of culture toured to the Nation
 al Art Museum of China in Beijing. \n	\n\n\n	Janna Levin \n	\n	Janna Levin
  researches the early universe\, chaos and black holes. Her second book\, 
 a novel called A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines (Knopf 2006)\, won the P
 EN/Bingham Fellowship for Writers that honors debut fiction. She is also t
 he author of the popular science book How the Universe Got Its Spots: Diar
 y of a Finite Time in a Finite Space. Levin is a professor of physics and 
 astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University. She has worked at the
  Center for Particle Astrophysics (CfPA) at the University of California\,
  Berkeley before moving to the UK where she worked at Cambridge University
  in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP).
  Just before returning to New York\, she was the first scientist-in-reside
 nce at the Ruskin School of Fine Art and Drawing at Oxford with an award f
 rom the National Endowment for Science\, Technology\, and Arts. She has wr
 itten for many artists. \n\n\n	\n
