SUMMARY:What goes on in the kitchen of creative AI?: A conversation
DESCRIPTION:How does one cook an AI? \nWhat happens in the kitchen when one is preparing ingredients for different kinds of agencies? \nWhat does it mean to move beyond instrumentalism; and what does an interaction look like when its design comes from a place of joy\, curiosity\, and experimentation? \nWe invite the Montreal community of creatives and thinkers who are interested in questions of machine agency\, design process\, and interactivity to join in on this event where they can share the details and experiences of working with machines—in their wonky\, restless\, and still delicious encounters. \nThis event is presented as part of Hexagram Network’s 2026 Interdisciplinary Encounters. \n  \nSchedule:\n2 PM (CANCELLED): The first part takes inspiration from MFK Fisher’s The Art of Eating to explore how cooking with machines engenders life worlds with heterogeneous agencies and sociability. \n  \n4:15 PM: The second part will be a Keynote presentation by Montreal-based artist Erin Gee. \nDrawing on Claude Lévi-Strauss’ notion of the “raw” and the “cooked\,” and its feminist reinterpretation in sound studies by Jonathan Sterne and Tara Rodgers\, Gee examines AI through a sonic lens to argue that when real-world phenomena are recorded as sound or data\, they are never captured in a “raw” state. Grounded in her work on the documentation of musical biofeedback systems\, the talk explores how processes of capture\, selection\, and transformation shape what can be heard and what can be known through technology. She contrasts musical AI systems\, which tend to obscure or abstract these operations\, with classic biofeedback practices that foregrounded them—revealing how different technologies organize\, conceal\, or expose their own forms of “cooking.” \n  \nAfter the Event: \nPlease join us at 5:30 p.m. for the official launch event of the Interdisciplinary Encounters.

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Encounters Launch Evening
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, May 6\, 2026\, the Hexagram Network will launch the 4th edition of the Interdisciplinary Encounters. \n  \nThis will be the opportunity to discover the program\, which will unfold from April 13 to June 12\, 2026\, in a particularly vibrant manner: in total\, it comprises more than 20 activities. \nOrganized under the theme Commonalities\, this edition will highlight cutting-edge research‑creation practices emerging from Québec’s university communities. Grounded in material\, embodied\, and situated methodologies\, research‑creation fosters a rich dialogue between the arts\, cultures\, and technologies. It invites us to rethink the commons as a dynamic space of relationships\, responsibilities\, and collective imaginaries in the face of contemporary crises. \nThe launch evening will open with remarks from Hexagram’s co‑directors\, offering an opportunity to discover the full program of workshops\, talks\, exhibitions\, performances\, and roundtable discussions that will energize our spring. \nJoin us in a warm\, welcoming atmosphere conducive to exchange\, while enjoying a bite to eat and a drink shared with our research community. \n  \n🎟️ Spots are limited\, book a spot here. \n  \n \n  \n
