Vancouver AI Community Meetup: April 30Vancouver AI Community Meetup: #WebSummitVancouver AI: June 25
🎶 Revival by K-Phi-A Collective 🎶
_A live-coded séance where the dead composers hum through machines and the living riff with the ghosts._
K-Phi-A is co-composing _with_ AI trained on both their own sonic DNA and the archived echoes of long-gone masters. Built inside the Metacreation Lab’s bleeding-edge creative stack, _Revival_ is what happens when generative systems stop imitating and start improvising.
This isn’t some tech demo disguised as art. It’s a negotiation between human intent and algorithmic suggestion. Messy, responsive, alive.
The sound? Electroacoustic meets experimental electronic—stitched in real time. The visuals? Autolume by VJ Amagi—a custom visual synthesizer that listens, reacts, and refuses to behave.
VANCOUVER AI CORE MEMBERSHIP
Vancouver AI CORE just booted up. 12-month passport to every gathering. Backdoor access to our Members Group Chat & Knowledge Base for raw, unfiltered dialogues. Something built by the community, for the community.
Initialize: https://core.bc-ai.net/
This isn’t subscription content—it’s community infrastructure. The digital campfire where tomorrow’s questions get asked today.
THE $10K DATA STORYTELLING HACKATHON:
Brittney and the folks at Rival Technologies are tired of data that doesn’t say anything. They’re throwing serious money ($2,500 per winner across four rounds) at people who can make numbers tell stories that actually matter.
Expect:
- Raw, unfiltered insights from the bleeding edge
- Deep dives into the philosophical quandaries of our time
- Hands-on exploration of tools that are reshaping reality
- Real talk about the promises and perils ahead
This is a space for:
- The curious and the courageous
- The skeptics and the dreamers
- Those who see technology not as an end, but as a means to amplify human potential
- Anyone ready to engage with the big questions of our time
THE SPONSORS:
- Dimitri Schwartzman: Real estate guy who funds community stuff instead of just buying yachts
- SEGEV LLP: Lawyers who can talk about tech without reading from Wikipedia
- METACREATION Lab: Researchers who understand AI should make art, not just surveillance tech
- TheUpgrade.ai: AI education & adoption for businesses and teams.
THE PARTNERS:
- HR MacMillan Space Centre: Letting us use their cosmic dome
- Creative Mornings Vancouver: Morning people who somehow still have good ideas
GET INVOLVED:
- Want to speak? Have an insight that isn’t “AI will change everything”?
- Built something weird? Demo spots open.
- Join the community: Get in the Vancouver AI CORE Group where the real conversations happen
THE FINE PRINT:
- Limited to 200 human bodies
- Will sell out, just like every other VAI event
- Bring stickers to trade. Yes, we’re serious. Analog connection in a digital world.
- Photography & video will happen. Your mug might end up online. If you’re in witness protection, wear a fake mustache.
