    Decoding DATA ECOSYSTEMS

    Jess and Aaron take on an Asemio-original concept this month: Community Data Ecosystems. What is a data ecosystem? How is it different from a data system?

    BONUS EPISODE: Decoding AI & Music

    Hey y'all! We're back from our hiatus a little early to share a very cool project that a local composer (and friend of the pod) is performing Saturday, March 9th, at Low Down in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "Music for the Senses" starts at 8:00 pm and is 21+ with valid ID. Tickets are at the links below. Composer David Broome and Asemio co-founder Aaron Bean have been working on a musical performance that blends traditional music with machine learning (AI) software. The performance uniquely layers live instrumentalists, vocals, electronic music, American Sign Language (ASL), and the same generative AI that powers ChatGPT. Join our co-host, Jess, in a conversation with Aaron and Dave, two technologists pushing the boundaries of AI's place in creative processes, live performance, and music. Attend their March 9th performance for a truly unique and cutting-edge experience, and say hi to Aaron while you're there!
