>again, this is not a problem but a basic expectation when you do media arts residencies

If it isn't a problem, then the AI isn't a solution. You can't have a solution without a problem.

Saying that "this is just a basic expectation" is rather bizarre.

Who's setting that expectation?

And more importantly, why is it there? Who's benefiting from it? Why do you keep it?

FFS, you can proactively reach out to the artists and ask about what equipment they will use.

One doesn't just suddenly get an arts residency. There's an application process, I presume, and plenty of communication between the artist and the venue happening before any work begins.

There's no reason for discussion of the equipment not taking place early on where the entire point is using technology to create art.

And yes, "is just the way things are done in this industry" can be remarkably stupid. Doctors didn't wash hands until mid 19th century, that was just the basic expectation.

More soldiers were dying of disease in military hospitals than from battlefield casualties as a result.

The solution to the high death rate wasn't automating weapons (which did come with the Maxim gun). It was Florence Nightingale challenging the basic expectations.

Or, in modern parlance — calling BS on it.

You're not making a convincing case for that "basic expectation" existing.

>Just like it's an expectation when you work in the event industry that you're going to get gigs for making something in the morning for an event happening in the evening.

I've read this sentence three times, and it still didn't make any sense. Could you perhaps rephrase?

Again, when I gig with bands, I don't bring random gear for someone to set up.

It's my job. And we have a sound check. And if my gear doesn't work, the sound guy isn't fixing it.

Not sure what sort of analogy you meant to make, but it's not coming through.
