Max and Machine Learning with RunwayML – On-demand

Level: Intermediate

RunwayML is a platform that offers AI tools to artists without any coding experience. Max/MSP is a visual programming environment used in media art that can be used to control RunwayML in a more efficient way. At the end of the workshop you will be able to train trendy machine learning models and generate videos by walking a latent space through Max and NodeJS.

Session Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course a successful student will be able to:

  • Understand the RunwayML workflow

  • Use Node4Max to control RunwayML and generate a video.

  • Explore ML trendy models

  • Create a Dataset

  • Train a ML model

  • Process videos with the VIZZIE library.
