[Machine Agencies Kick-Off Event] Patchwork Agencies
September 19 | 14:00 - 16:00
Clusters: Speculative Life
Join Machine Agencies for Patchwork Agencies, the exciting kick-off event for the new year with the Milieux Institute’s AI Research Group!
On Friday September 19th from 2-4pm come on down to the Milieux Resource Centre and learn about Machine Agencies, an exciting research community at the Milieux Institute investigating artificial intelligence technologies, cultures, and creations.
During the event, Machine Agencies researcher Aurélie Petit will lead Black Pudding: Collaborative Speculation Workshop. Through collage and generative video, this workshop asks what AI might look like if we slowed it down, made it smaller, and used it to make art together!
ABOUT MACHINE AGENCIES:
Machine Agencies is an experiment between human and machine intelligences. We are a collection of researchers investigating artificial intelligence technologies, the culture of AI development, and AI’s social, political, and environmental consequences. We encourage cooperation and play, resisting the antagonism of more instrumental approaches of AI. Our members are working on fascinating projects that bridge the gaps between engineering, artistic creation, academic debate, policy development, and public discourse.
