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

🎞️ DREAM TEAM: Sofia Vieira, Kaashvi Kothari, @nataliastanusch.bsky.social , Ploipailin Flynn, @nadiapiet.bsky.social

✨ and, as part of Esoteric AI @aixdesign.bsky.social , I also talked about Gaston Welisch's BIRD: Bird Informed Remote Divination art research project 🐦‍⬛ → aixdesign.co/posts/bird 4/4

✨I also discussed Esoteric AI @aixdesign.bsky.social where we bring together magic, history, technology, and art, so I mentioned both our recent zine publication (big credits to internet teapot 🫖 → aixdesign.metalabel.com/esoteric-ai-... 3/4

✨I talked about my ongoing cross-disciplinary research where media archeology & STS intertwine. I discussed the notion of AI imaginaries both in tech industry and online spaces like Wikipedia, & ways of challenging them by historicizing AI through the lens of other technologies & techniques 2/4

Looks absolutely fascinating, too bad I missed it. I’ll def follow updates on the upcoming events (hopefully at least some of them will be offered in hybrid mode 🤞)
