Wilding AI: Octavia Butler, Critical Making, and Other Possible Worlds

November 19, 2024 11:40-1:15pm

In this talk, I will discuss design ontologies—how tools are made and to what end. I’m particularly interested in GenAI tools and the ways they might be broken or bent toward purposes beyond traditional design frameworks. I think with and against the work of writer Octavia Butler, particularly her work on xenogenesis – becoming alien – to work through some of my recent art and critical works. I am particularly interested in what you, as student thinkers and creators, are working, thus plan for a dialogic engagement.
