This session marks the first of 4 workshops in STORY&CODE program, hosted by AIxDESIGN and SUBLAB. The program, the first of it's kind, invites pre-selected participants from either a filmmaking or creative tech background to team up and experiment in the ways in with generative AI may alter their existing processes.
As part of their discovery, our participants are encouraged to reflect truthfully and honestly to our community. What did they love about a tool? What felt like 'cheating' their pre-existing process? Our goal is that we openly share awe and criticism to the many new tools that arrive each day, to encourage our community and all creatives alike to understand the impact of the tools and arrive at their own subjective opinion.
In this session, we explore how to build a speculative climate future ourselves, much like Erik's work, through accessible open source tools for generative AI.
About the Artist
Erik Peters (he/they) is an interdisciplinary artist and designer engaging with the worldbuilding potentialities seeded in the act of storytelling, uncovering how speculative fiction can germinate new universes of being. Their research-based and collaborative practice is situated in an interdependent web of ecologies and technologies, human and non-human beings.
Within their work, queer methodologies and mythologies are evoked to create multidisciplinary scenarios about possible futures; imaginative worlds staged as spatial and interactive installations, workshops, publications and audiovisual works. They frequently work with materials and techniques such as generative artificial intelligence, ceramics, 3d printing and photogrammetry methods.
