Corrado Monti

The Milan Python user group podcast, "Intervista Pythonista", asked me about my experience of working in data science with Python. I ended up rambling about how notebooks should and shouldn't be used, and also discussing some black magic one can do with TensorFlow.

Podcast "Innovation coffee & Seminari dell'innovazione"

The IntesaSanpaoloOnAir podcast asked me what can social media analysis tell us about mass phenomena, and how machine learning can help us connect the dots and understand the signals.

Game of Life Music Generator

Mathematician John Conway was among the many victims of Covid19. I discovered his Game of Life when I was about 12. It was –like many great ideas– simple enough a kid could get the basics: cells live or die with enough living neighbours. I turned the cells of Game Of Life into a music generator. Each circle you see connects to a synth you hear. The percentage of living cells in each circle translates into a note on the D minor scale. Three circles, three synths. #johnconway #gameoflife #creativecoding #generative #processing3 #algorithmicart #generativeart #creativecodeart #creativecode #generativegraphics #generativemusic #synthstagram #experimentalmusic #warp #proceduralart
