“What’s more important than two women talking about teaching creative coding in the age of AI?”

I recently performed this dialogue with Maisa @iammans. Starting from how quickly AI is changing the act of writing code, we moved between classroom tensions, personal practice, and cyberfeminist frameworks, asking what it means to teach coding now.

As coding tools keep shifting, how do we still make room for friction, mess, and thinking? How would creative coding help us figure out what to ask for, what to reject, what to refine, and what we’re actually trying to build?

Grateful for the opportunity to speak about @p5xjs @ProcessingOrg at 🇺🇳@unitednations Headquarters #OSPOsforGood 2024 Symposium, which is hosted by United Nations Envoy on Technology and UN Office of Information and Communications Technology.

In this clipped video, I raised questions about diversity & accessibility in open source & how governments & orgs can better support QTBIPOC women/femme open-source leaders, maintainers, and contributors.

When I received the invitation to attend the symposium a few months ago, I had no idea that the UN was interested in open source, let alone hosting an event with global attendees. I’m so glad I attended and met people working on open source in governments, public and private sectors, and academia. Many of them now have p5.js stickers 🌸☺️.

I wrote a chapter called “Care Work in Open Source Software: A Reflection on p5.js” for the book ‘We Are Civic Media’ (Northwestern University Press), launching this Saturday, October 25 at The Underground Museum in LA.

This is my first published essay where I’ve shared publicly about what those years leading @p5xjs at @processingorg were really like, the joy, the weight, the meaning, the complexity of being a caretaker for an open source community. Deep gratitude to @nupress and the whole @annenberglab team for holding space for these stories and making this book happen.

Join authors, storytellers, artists, organizers, and others working at the intersections of technology, social justice, and culture for an engaging convening in celebration of We Are Civic Media, a brilliant book penned by USC Annenberg Innovation Lab @annenberglab fellows.

Hosted by @amberabundance and featuring music by DJ Angboo, the evening will be filled with celebration, conversation, and music as we honor the contributors who are shaping the future of civic imagination and media.

Thank you @wednesdaykimm for inviting me to be part of 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙄𝙄, a show centered on new media artists who are mothers.

“𝘿𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘?” is both a website and a series of intimate gatherings that explore the role of traditional magic during the time of AI magic. The project is a collaboration between me and AX Mina @fiveandnine_podcast. The first prototype was created in 2023, before I became a mother, and the latest iteration was updated during my recent maternity leave. Here, I share a few motherly spells from the machine that dreams of magic. The website is built using @p5xjs.

AI personas in this project were commissioned from guest artists:
•Cy X @cyberwitch666
•Edgar Fabián Frías @edgarfabianfrias
•Helen Shewolfe Tseng @wolfchirp
•Jamel Mims @mctingbudong

Rather than treating motherhood as subject, the exhibition surfaces the heavy-duty—often invisible—labor of care embedded in digital practice, tracing how feeding, uploading, editing, patching, nurturing, and building bind caregiving and creation. Here, care is not a metaphor but a method: persistent, powerful, and rising beneath the surface. Each artist contributes a work that knots digital media with acts of care.

Participating Artists:
Mollye Bendell, Snow Yunxue Fu, Diana Gheorghiu, Julie Grosche, Faith Holland, Rory Scott, Flavia Visconte and Qianqian Ye x AX Mina.

Rather than treating motherhood as subject, the exhibition surfaces the heavy-duty—often invisible—labor of care embedded in digital practice, tracing how feeding, uploading, editing, patching, nurturing, and building bind caregiving and creation. Here, care is not a metaphor but a method: persistent, powerful, and rising beneath the surface. Each artist contributes a work that knots digital media with acts of care.

Participating Artists:
Mollye Bendell, Snow Yunxue Fu, Diana Gheorghiu, Julie Grosche, Faith Holland, Rory Scott, Flavia Visconte and Qianqian Ye x AX Mina.

“Do Machines Dream of Magic? ” is a website and series of intimate gatherings co-created by Qianqian Ye and AX Mina / 2023- ongoing

Do Machines Dream of Magic? is a website and series of intimate gatherings aimed at exploring the role of traditional forms of magic during a time of AI magic. It aims to merge ancient beliefs with futuristic systems in order to explore tensions, opportunities, anxieties and hopes around the future of technology in a time of climate change and increased concerns about the state of the world.

The entire website is designed and built by Qianqian Ye with the help from AI - the visuals are generated by Mid Journey or Stable Diffusion, the code is generated with the help of LLM. All the work sits at the intersection of technology, spirituality, and social change, fostering a deeper understanding of the ways in which individuals navigate the digital realm and their relationship with artificial intelligence.

The in-person event is a light gathering of people to experience and deliver the spells. We work with LLMs, Stable Diffusion models and the prompt templates to craft a ritual that we are enacting for protection in this new digital age.

For the first iteration of this project, we commissioned artists Cy X, Edgar Fabián Frías, Helen Shewolfe Tseng, and Jamel Mims/ MC Tingbudong to develop AI personas.

We are grateful to the Civic Media Fellowship at the USC Annenberg School of Journalism and Communications and the AI for Media & Storytelling (AIMS) Initiative of USC Center for Generative AI & Society for supporting this project.

2024 has been a year-long baby rave. 🖤
1: 3D scan of my belly 1 month before the due date.
2-3: dancing during my baby rave party with the baby’s heart beat and audio reactive visual from ultrasound.
4: Kai-Hai Plastia showing at Oceanside Museum of Art with my belly and belly of Goddexx Plastia.
5-8: belly pics with or from friends and family.
It takes a village to raise a child, and I’m grateful for mine.

Multiple chapters of Kai-Hai series are now on view at Oceanside Museum of Art @oceansidemuseum ‘Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean’ exhibition, as part of Getty’s PST Art x Science Collide initiative @pstinla.

- Plastia is projected on the front façade of OMA’s building every evening. 🌊
- A.A.G and Nakili are shown as AR filters and 3D-printed sculptures at OMA’s entrance. 🌊

Kai-Hai (a hybrid of ‘Ocean’ in ʻŌlelo Hawai’i and Mandarin) is a collaboration between Tiare Ribeaux @tiareribeaux and Qianqian Ye @44ian. Kai-Hai comprises a series of digitally created goddexx figures that emerge from and link transpacific folklore, remixing ancestral, personal, and speculative narratives from Polynesia to East Asia. The project explores environmental issues, indigenous and immigrant stories, and diasporic connections across the Pacific Ocean. 🌊🌊

‘Transformative Currents’ exhibition examines the historical causes and ongoing effects of the cultural and environmental devastation of the Pacific Ocean and harnesses art’s potential to enact positive ecological change, both planetary and local. On view through January 19, 2025.

Join us on October 5th for a public celebration.

💙 Gratitude to the curator team: Cassandra Coblentz @c_coblentz , Aaron Katzman @aaronkatzeman and Ziying Duan @silverzi2009. Special thanks to Yufan Xie @yufanis____ for all the 3D printing support.
