About Event

In an era where artificial intelligence increasingly mediates our cultural experiences, this workshop creates a collaborative cartography of sound and meaning. As we face unprecedented ecological collapse and fears of human obsolescence in an AI-driven world, this squad-based practice offers a counternarrative: one where technology becomes a tool for collective expression rather than algorithmic authority, and where community wisdom creates pathways through crisis.

The workshop unfolds through an iterative foraging process that begins with AI-generated audio clips, created using the stable-audio-open model through an initial seed prompt. Squad members (i.e. workshop participants) engage in collective listening sessions, gathering interpretations and responses like specimens from a shared sonic landscape. Their group dataset is fed into a collective sensemaking algorithm, then used to retrain the base generative model, giving them new “words” to search this retrained sonic space with - exclusively theirs to use.

The use of AI in this context serves not as a replacement for human creativity but as a surveying tool for mapping our collective consciousness and facilitating coordination.

This session will take place in English.

Following the workshop, a film screening with selections from the Rare Effect 2024 Open Call will be screened from 21h.


Rare Effect returns for its fifth edition from 7-16th November 2024.

​The 10-day programme features an Open Call for digital art exhibition across the venue, live jams & music club nights, film programming, and emerging technology workshops investigating what’s next in AI, blockchain, and electronic arts.

A special thank you to CCDR LVT for their support of Rare Effect 2024.
