Artists Margit Lukács and Persijn Broersen, writer Nat Muller, and researchers at the Visual Methodologies Collective (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences) are developing a local, slow-AI-driven story generator and invite you to explore how training an AI on curated data and playing with its settings affects the kind of outputs it produces.
We will explore how new myths of the Rhine—in which rivers speak, trees pass judgment, and humans are in constant transformation between human, phantom, or animal—offer an alternative perspective on the relationship between humans and nature, and how a DIY, small AI that is intentionally built to be contemplative and poetic rather than conclusive and concise could help inspire different forms of imagination.
