Artists, Coders, and other creative professionals are never on the cutting edge of research.

When Google shows off its neural networks, it makes your selfies look like Van Gogh drew them. When IBM wants to prove its advancements in NLP, it plays Jeopardy. This talk aims to present a handful of examples of computational art - and to explore both its technical background and it's impact. We will discuss the ways in which mathematics impacts these projects, and the ways in which the art communicates mathematics.
