The Department Research Day of the Department of Cultural Studies at TH Köln is dealing with ‘memory artefacts.’ I am talking about generative AI as active archives and how we can access them beyond prompt-engineering.

I will speak about the development of a journal of integrated design research at KISD in an online-talk at Loughborough University, invited by Loughborough Open Research Collective.

At DEL in Between of the Digitally Engaged Learning Conference, Laura Popplow, Laura Wagner and I will speak about “Learning to Fail at Design, AI, and Technology.”

Presentation with Thomas Hawranke

As part of a Menagerie of Virtual Animals at the University of Bochum, Thomas Hawranke will present some work-in-process in which we approach the latent space of neural network image classification and generation by looking at the Yorkshire Terrier. Under the title “Gassi gehen im latent space / Walking the dog in latent space” we will try to shed some light on the technological and cultural role of animals (and the Yorkshire Terrier in particular) in contemporary artificial intelligence.
