Issue 02 is officially OUT!
Thank you to @oxconnectedlife, the speakers, artists and attendees for such a warm welcome.
So proud of this issue & this team, especially as we head to venice for our next workshop at @acm_cc 2022; exciting times for AIY.
Stay tuned for photos!

I've got a few slots left for next week! Creatives in #Berlin I am looking to run workshops on how you use AI in design April 24th-27th.

Loving the new image additions to @ImagesofAI from @catherinebuk!
AI Materials are certainly on the brain right now, rumours of Issue 03's theme...?
“All too often we see images of AI in virtual, holographic forms, or find ourselves repeatedly presented with circuit brains in shiny 3D outlines suspended in blue space.
[...These images fall] much closer to its physical reality." - @TanDuarte

Prototyping AI futures.
If you could operate outside of material constraints, starting fresh, shifting away from pre-established networks, how would your approach to "making" AI change?
This is what we asked of our participants, with some interesting results 🧐

What materials do you think of when we say "AI"?
In yesterday's workshop, we handled, prototyped & rethought some materials involved in AI production.
These were kindly supplied by @FablabVenezia, and comprised of recycled materials including 3D print offcuts! #nowaste @acm_cc
ALT Two screens displaying our main task for the workshop, reading "remake a component of the AI supply chain using the materials assigned".
New band name suggestion: "Unidentified Mesh"- @digitalmatcha
This was just part of our discussion around the "Taxonomy of your phone".
Do you know what yours is made of?
Clue: there are over 46 different materials in a single IPhone 👀
@acm_cc
Hard at work (re)making AI.
Each participant was allotted a different material involved in AI production, & asked to rethink it's use/collection/supply.
Stay tuned for the (v interesting) outputs!

En route to @FablabVenezia!
Ready to explore the materiality of AI, by confronting its materials face to face...
