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!

@ruchowdh @argotechnica But tech always had a bad critic / creator dynamic. I mean Stuart Brand started Wired? The whole restaurant critic and chef dynamic has always been missing from tech (and is sorely needed).

@charliehrysmith What is it becoming?

Loving the new image additions to @ImagesofAI from @catherinebuk!

AI Materials are certainly on the brain right now, rumours of Issue 03's theme...?

[Better Images of AI @ImagesofAI]

“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 🧐

@acm_cc

[AI Yesterday @AI_Yesterday]

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

@digitalmatcha "If it's not messy, it's not crafts"

[AI Yesterday @AI_Yesterday]

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

[AI Yesterday @AI_Yesterday]

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...

One day to go! And what a location for it!

Too much espresso has already been consumed, but some AI materials have yet to be handled...
