Abstract
In this workshop Joseph and Cecilia will present six recent case studies where their studio used AI to create community-aligned projects that would have been impractical without the use of AI tools. We’ll delve into practical AI workflows for these and various types of projects. We will also consider what is new and what is consistent with what has always been the artist’s role in society.
