this saturday, 5/23 - an encore of sorts culminating in a live set by @_ma_ral_ to close out the project (not 5/29 as per graphic)

Maral (live) – 2pm

Los Angeles’s Maral has spent the past half-decade quietly honing an approach that meshes the latest in club music contortions, a range of pulverized dub effects, and samples from her library of Iranian folk, pop and classical musics.

This summer we’re heading to @fwb.help @fwbfest.info Fest in Idyllwild, CA to run Playful Prototyping a hands-on workshop on making things with AI and by hand.

It takes cues from the pottery parable: the class told to make one perfect pot loses to the class told to make fifty. Volume on the journey to precision.

That’s how we’ve come to use AI in the studio. A shortcut to widen the search, to run the experiment fifty times instead of once. The craft is still in the choosing, what to keep, what to sharpen, and what to throw out.

Cultural curiosity, commercial conviction. The methods stay timely so the brands can stay timeless.

Putting together a conversation THIS WEDNESDAY about creative labor, platforms, incentives, money, publishing, and all the weird ways the current stack shapes behavior.

Basically: trying to talk honestly about what it feels like to build and create online right now without turning it into LinkedIn thought leadership.

With:
Jose Mejia @josermejia
Soren Wrenn @sorenwrenn
Trevor Banta @errorgardener

Plus vinyl deep house from Touch Base @touch_base_beats .

On 13 May, 邊界 (@bianjie.systems) will be hosting an evening gathering at @index_space Greenpoint, NYC, bringing together a cross-coastal group of artists, researchers, technologists and cultural intermediaries from New York and San Francisco.

The event is designed to foster meaningful dialogue around the role of artistic practice in shaping how technical institutions, research communities, and public imaginaries intersect. With the support of @grayareaorg and @fwb.help.

We will be presenting @yalla_halim’s work, “Singulars”: a series of live poetry duels between a human poet and a machine. The audience votes to decide the winner, and their votes train the machine for future performances, helping poetry and machine reach, possibly, a new singularity.

DM for more information!
