Keynotes

IS-EUD 2019 conference programme includes two keynotes, by Siddhart Muthyala (Product and Interaction Designer at LEGO) and Peter Richardson (Full Professor at University of Hertfordshire).

Keynote by Siddharth Muthyala

Can you get more classic than LEGO? We don’t think so. Our favorite toy company shares with us Siddharth Muthyala (Sid), Product and Interaction Designer at LEGO, where he is the Senior Design Lead for the Secondary school segment. Sid works with LEGO Mindstorms, robotics and coding platforms for students. Prior to LEGO education, Sid was Design Lead in LEGO’s Creative Play Lab. Has anyone honestly had a more fun career?

Sid will speak on learning through play and the crucial role play has in shaping children and adults. Get an insight to LEGO’s inner thinking and creative process.

Keynote by Peter Richardson

Title: How Many Questions? Killer drones, ship wrecks and particle physics: hunting for replicants in the ‘real’ 2019

Abstract: Set in 2019 Ridley Scott’s noir science fiction film, Blade Runner (1982), portrays a dystopic future world of replicant (AI) insurgency. Detective Rick Deckard’s job is to hunt the replicants. His methodology, the "Voigt-Kampff" test, is a set of questions designed to distinguish replicants from humans. The 2017 film, Slaughterbots, (commissioned by the Future of Life Institute) highlights the threat of weaponisation of artificial intelligence. Utilising Hollywood cinematic tropes the film was launched anonymously so as to go viral. Slaughterbots depicts a fictional attack on the U.S. Senate by lethal drone weapons. The film achieved 200K views at its launch and in just over a week had two million views on YouTube alone. Co-produced and filmed at University of Hertfordshire campus, undergraduate and postgraduate film students worked alongside the crew with drama students playing roles in many scenes. The film was screened at the 2017 meeting in Geneva of the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) and had an immediate impact in that the meeting resolved to work to “lay the groundwork necessary to negotiate a new CCW protocol on lethal autonomous weapons systems.” Using Slaughterbots and several other case studies, this presentation focuses on strategies developed by the Games and Visual Effects Research Lab (G+VERL) at the University Of Hertfordshire to facilitate impactful research. G+VERL’s current research investigates moving image dramaturgy in terms of medium and modality and has focused recently on VR and AI. Employing a truly interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, the team has created impactful projects with particle physicists, choreographers, astronomers and filmmakers. The Voight-Kampff test continues to be G+VERL’s key methodology in the hunt for narrative replicants.

Biography: Now a well-established academic, Peter began his career in the film industry. Throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000’s Peter directed music videos, commercials, feature length documentaries and drama. Recent work includes: Miss Donnithorne’s Maggot (2014), which he wrote and directed based on Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’s opera; The Slotin Paradox (2018), a hybrid documentary about radiation; and Zero Point VR, a VR installation staged at The Barbican in London and at CILECT 2017 in Zurich. Now Research Professor in Film and Head of Screen at the University Of Hertfordshire UK, Peter is also founding Director of The Games and Visual Effects Research Lab (G+VERL). At G+VERL Peter leads a team of interdisciplinary researchers based in six European countries investigating film and television technology, VR, AR and storytelling hybridity.
