From April to October 2022, the internationally renowned composer, conductor and artist Esmeralda Conde Ruiz (*1980/Spain, lives in the UK) was a guest at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden. Whilst on residency she worked with TU Dresden’s (TUD) scholars and scientists as well as experts from other institutions and researched ideas related to the Lab’s main topic of enquiry which is Artificial Intelligence as a Factor and Consequence of Social and Cultural Change. Our editor Michael Klipphahn-Karge, currently a fellow of the Schaufler Kolleg@TU Dresden himself and an art scholar, interviewed Conde Ruiz about her stay and plans during the residency in Dresden.
