Richard Behringer · Leeds Beckett Repository (Leeds Beckett University) · 2006
Reinhold Behringer, Professor in Creative Technology, considers how technology can be used for creative purposes, during his inaugural lecture ‘Creative Technology – An Oxymoron?’ on Wednesday 15 March. Professor Behringer begins his lecture by discussing his work and background in the technology sector, drawing on his experience of autonomous road vehicles, augmented reality, computer vision and software development for intelligent systems. Following on from this, Professor Behringer then examines creative areas in which technology is used, including the making of classical music performances, based solely on computers and synthesisers. The lecture concludes with Professor Behringer looking ahead to future projects, ideas and activities in creative technology at Leeds Met.
