​🌀 ABOUT THE SESSION

​Tired of seeing the same blue circuit boards or shiny white robots every time someone talks about AI? Yeah, us too.

​Join us for the launch of our Archival Images of AI (AIoAI) playbook. This playbook is the result of our research into how existing images – especially those from digital heritage collections  –  can be remixed and reused to create new images, particularly to represent AI in more realistic and compelling ways.

​During this hands-on session, you'll:

• ​Learn about the playbook and how it came together from our team of researchers and image-makers

• ​Discover rich sources of open-licensed archival materials free for you to use on personal and commercial projects!

• ​Get mini-tutorials from our image-makers on remix techniques like emoji annotations, digital distortion, pattern-making, and meme creation

• ​Share your creations and feedback to continue improving the playbook's with your insights

​We'll wrap up with a reflection, Q&A, and open discussion about future work and collective efforts in expanding our visual vocabulary around AI.

​​WHO IS HOSTING?

​Your hosts include the AIxDESIGN team, Tania from Better Images of AI, and the AIoAI image-makers Zeina Saleem, Hanna Barakat, Cristobal Ascencio, Dominika Čupková, and Nadia Piet.

​​WHO IS THIS FOR?

​Perfect for design enthusiasts, AI hotties, haters, and weirdos, art history nerds, media critics, archive lovers, visual culture scholars, or anyone interested in the intersection of AI and visual culture.

​​🖼️ ABOUT AIoAI

​In Archival Images of AI, we're exploring how digital heritage collections can be remixed and reused to create more thoughtful images of AI. Working with designers, image-makers, and critical AI researchers, we're developing open-source tools and guidelines for creating culturally-relevant visual narratives about AI that go beyond the usual clichés.

​A collaboration between AIxDESIGN and the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision with advisory from Better Images of AI ✨
