Univ.-Prof. Dr.
Artemi-Maria Gioti
BA MA
Artemi-Maria Gioti is a composer and artistic researcher conducting critical research at the intersection of Music and Artificial Intelligence.
Her compositional work focuses on interactive works involving reciprocal, real-time interaction between human performers and computer music systems incorporating Machine Learning (ML). Through this practice, she explores how technology reconfigures musical practices and ontologies, such as authorship and the musical work. Her research brings autoethnographies of the compositional process into dialogue with theoretical frameworks from critical AI and critical data studies, to investigate questions of data materiality, data semiotics and ML epistemology.
Gioti is a core team member of the ERC-funded project MusAI (Music and Artificial Intelligence: Building Critical Interdisciplinary Studies), led by Georgina Born.
She holds a doctoral degree in Music Composition from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz with previous studies in Composition, Electroacoustic Composition and Computer Music at the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece), the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.
Her music has been performed by ensembles such as Klangforum, DissonArt, Schallfeld, AuditivVokal, Insomnio, Sond'Arte, and soloists such as Xenia Pestova-Bennett, Magda Mayas, Jana Luksts, Evan Runyon, Johan Soderlund, Jelte van Andel and Joel Diegert.
Her artistic and scholarly work has been distinguished with an Honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2023, the 2019 Giga-Hertz Production Award for Electronic Music (ZKM, Karlsruhe), the Austrian State Scholarship for Composition and the Best Practice Award of the Artistic-Scholarly Doctoral School of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.
Her previous academic appointments include positions at the University of Music "Carl Maria von Weber" Dresden (Germany), UCL's Anthropology Department (UK) and the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.
