As an artist it’s easy to get lost in institutional processes, when instead you’d much rather lose yourself is the artistic process of realising your project. The submissions for the Amarte X MOMO Festival Open Call have been thoroughly read, and a first selection has been made! Part of the whole process - whether you make it to the last round or not - is to gather feedback and take all experience as a learning opportunity.

For instance, last week, applicants attended the β€˜Unlocking Funding’ workshop by @soffmaria. Sofia shared industry insights, and provided personal feedback for the artists in their processes.

More info on the Open Call coming your way soon… Stay tuned, we might need your input at some point πŸ‘€

Wake up, babe… day three recap reel just dropped! We made it to the finish line!

RELEASE ALERT 🚨 (9/9) β€œAncestral AI Chapter” is out now! πŸ”— Travel through the full chapter on our website β†’ aixdesign.co/posts/ancestral-ai-chapter (link in bio) πŸ”

What can historical data practices teach us about being better AI ancestors for future generations? πŸŒ€

The Ancestral AI chapter invites us to rethink the timeline of AI development β€” showing how modern data practices could integrate ancestral values like community, reciprocity, and collective memory.

From Polynesian navigation systems to knotted-string devices, the chapter highlights approaches that treat data not as a resource to be extracted, but as a form of heritage to be preserved and enriched over time ⏳

Challenging the idea that progress lies only ahead, Ancestral AI argues for moving beyond short-term metrics of β€œsuccess” and β€œinnovation” to consider the long-term impact of AI systems across generations 🧬

This chapter is the manifestation of Gust and the team’s past 12 months of research into Ancestral AI ⏳ A labour of love, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

And remember – you can come chat and timetravel with Gust at the πŸŽͺ AIxD Festival πŸŽͺ this May 1-3, at Loods6 in Amsterdam (tix are available now at bit.ly/aixd-festival-tickets)!

🐌 ABOUT SLOW AI
The Ancestral AI research is part of the Slow AI project by AIxDESIGN. The Slow AI project seeks to imagine alternative narratives for AI, unpacking and moving beyond Silicon Valley ideologies. Inspired by countermovements like slow fashion and slow food, it aims to subvert corporate-first thinking by collectively exploring new perspectives and pathways for AI.

RELEASE ALERT 🚨 (6/9) β€œSmall AI Chapter” is out now! πŸ”— Zoom into the full chapter on our website β†’ https://aixdesign.co/posts/small-ai-chapter (link in bio) πŸ”

The Small AI chapter invites us to rethink AI not as something floating in β€œthe cloud,” but as deeply entangled with land, ecologies, and people β€” showing how technology can prioritize community value in design and governance πŸ¦‹

From artists building their personal AI models to citizen scientists preserving marginalized languages, the chapter highlights the power of small-scale approaches to protecting cultural heritage and supporting ecological resilience 🌱

Challenging the β€œbigger-is-always-better” mindset, Small AI calls for AI development that prioritizes real-world needs over abstract, infinite scaling β€” an AI that serves humanity today.

This chapter is the manifestation of Nadia and the team’s past 12 months of research into Small AI ⏳ A labour of love, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

And remember – you can chat with Nadia and come build your own tiny LLMΒ at the πŸŽͺ AIxD Festival πŸŽͺ this May 1-3, at Loods6 in Amsterdam (tix are available now at bit.ly/aixd-festival-tickets)!
