[Outline]

• Will AI even invade the creation of art? Will AI have aesthetic consciousness and autonomously start creating art in future?
  
  This research meeting focuses on the four series of "AI Art & Aesthetics Concert," all performed in November, 2017, as part of AI Art & Aesthetics Exhibition at OIST. Showing the video documents of these concerts on a large screen, we explore different approaches to probe the interplay of human and machine in the field of musical composition.
