Join for an informal show-and-tell, intimate testing ground where you can dive into hacking, understanding and deconstructing AI tools. Bring your electronic wonders, fantasies, prejudices and works-in-progress for others to see, or come see what others have been working on.
Whether it’s AI tools, code or circuits, electronic and algorithmic creativity of all sorts is welcome here!
Telemagic (www.telemagic.online) members Ymer Marinus + Cyanne van den Houten (NL) UmArts TAIGA ARIR are present with different bits of code and interactive prototypes for you to play with. They are currently working ourselves on running opensource AI models locally, chaining them together to generate unexpected artworks and questioning queer and inclusive AI. They are happy to share the process and think along with your projects – ask them anything!
It is free and open to everyone, everyone with and without knowledge of electronics and AI are welcome.

12:00-16:00 AI Thinkering Session
16:15 – 16:35 Presentation by Artist Researcher in Residence: Cyanne van den Houten
Outcomes residency / Prototypes / Micro Experiments
During January Cyanne van den Houten will be an UmArts TAIGA Artist Researcher in Residence, developing new Art and AI micro-projects investigating Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as part of the Art and AI Working Group.
During the residency van den Houten will work on their project aleatory.agent, a micro-AI-project that integrates algorithmic chance into the creation of visual art through computer-controlled machines. Unlike conventional generative AI tools, the project focuses on embodiment and audience interaction, making the creative process an intuitive experience between people and generative AI systems. It embraces unexpected outcomes by random and controlled variables in image and text generation, using algorithms as the primary creative and performative force. The project explores the aesthetic and ethical dimensions of collaborating with AI, addressing questions of agency, authorship, and control.
