ISMIR 2023 Satellite Event
2nd Workshop on Human-Centric
Music Information Research
(HCMIR23)
Milano, Italy
November 10th, 2023
A half-day workshop to bring together researchers interested in discussing the ethical, social, cultural, political, legal and economic implications of MIR
Technology and music often melt together to create new and unprecedented forms of aesthetic experiences. Eventually, this is what we have witnessed during the last centuries: a continuous transformation of technologies and practices which revolutionised how we listen, experience, learn, compose and play music. Together with great enthusiasm for the advancements in Music Information Research (MIR), growing concerns started to emerge concerning music technologies' fair and transparent use, their impact on human rights, the possibility of designing sustainable and reliable experimental frameworks, and the potential biases that algorithms and datasets might have.
The 2nd edition of the workshop on Human-Centric Music Information Research aims to bring together people interested in discussing the ethical, social, cultural, political, legal and economic implications of MIR.
