Super stoked that Wild Imaginarium is featured in @architectsjournal! @uah and I recently wrote about how we used AI in the co-creation process, the impact of AI on architecture/design and why it’s useful to think of AI as a cultural infrastructure.

I made a series of short films as part of my residency @CompassFestLDS, where I worked with 4 local Leeds residents to explore how different age, background, heritage, and life experience affects the way people cook food at home and in tackling the climate crisis. See link in bio
Last week @LingQL & I hosted a 'More Than Human Citizen Assembly' to explore making collective decisions with our non-human neighbours, combining subjective, real-time & contextual data as inputs into an AI/LLM to simulate conversations with trees & vote on collective action...
Looking for someone to video document a 2 hour workshop in Porto, Portugal this Saturday morning, anyone who's based in Porto available or can recommend? (please share) @LingQL and I are putting together a More-Than-Human Citizen Assembly...

This time next month, I'll be free for new client work after a pretty full on summer with @superflux
I tend to thrive at the intersection of design, climate change and tech ethics. I can freelance or work in-house. DMs open.

this is key to understanding Cybersyn - it was never just about data or efficiency, it was about distributed governance, collective decision-making, bi-directional control/feedback/goals, etc. something never attempted before at such scale.
9-part podcast by @evgenymorozov on my fave topics: cybernetics, 20thC Latin American politics & ambitious underdogs! just started but a thrilling ride, highly recommended (lil trivia: my 1st grant app for Pachube in 2007 proposed to rebuild Proj Cybersyn) the-santiago-boys.com/
