In her TEDxGreenville talk "Butt Music," Em Blitstein explores a bizarre detail in Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights—sheet music etched onto a tormented figure’s buttocks. She uses this peculiar artifact to demonstrate how AI can assist in decoding historical mysteries. Blitstein trained a custom GPT model, “Butt Bot,” to interpret the music using historical context and geometry, ultimately creating strange, haunting soundscapes. Her talk blends humor, curiosity, and the creative power of human-AI collaboration. I believe in the power of creative content to shift perspectives and influence actions. My passion is helping businesses and individuals forge connections through clear, impactful narratives in a rapidly evolving world. With over a decade of experience in content marketing and strategy from the art world to the tech landscape, I now lead initiatives that integrate storytelling with AI and emerging technologies to foster meaningful engagement. As the Senior Content Marketing Manager at Sinch Mailgun, I leverage AI-driven strategies to enable authentic content and thought leadership. I thrive on writing, teaching and collaborating with forward-thinking businesses and creators. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
