Dreaming Beyond AI
Dreaming Beyond AI is a multi-disciplinary and collaborative platform bringing together artists, researchers, activists, and policymakers to create new narratives and visions around AI technologies. Dreaming Beyond AI is a space for critical and constructive knowledge, visionary fiction and speculative art, and community organizing around Artificial Intelligence. AI technologies reinforce existing injustices and discrimination. Decision-making processes are increasingly being outsourced to algorithmic systems – by the police and in court, in schools and in job application procedures, in government offices, at border crossings, and elsewhere. With Dreaming Beyond AI, we aim to challenge both the way AI is used today, and the societal structures that uphold algorithmic oppression. We use AI as a gateway to broader societal questions around marginalization, imagination, futurism, feminism, and how we experience the present. The goal is to de-center technology and use it as a tool rather than main instrument for connection and a coming together. It is an experiment to a curated space where people enter with a shared sense of values and agreements.

This year'sthehost.isartistic residency has been hosted by Dreaming Beyond AI and explored the relationship between time and AI.
As part of this symposium the five residents Bretas, Dera Luce, hiba ali, Kira Xonorika and Noam Youngrak Son will exhibit their work and share the artistic outputs of their three-month residency.
hiba ali, producer of moving images, sounds, garments and words, develops web VR experiences that use somatic approaches to slow down time for the viewer. Bretas, visual artist and researcher, critically dedicates two artworks to a 1860s portraiture archive of Afro-Brazilians whose photographs have since been in museums in Germany, an approach on ethnology, colonialism and racialized depiction through the use of AI techniques. Dera Luce, writer and multi-disciplinary artist, blends music and personal archives to create "Heal-GPT (Slowed + Reverb)," a story about healing physical and psychological transgenerational trauma. Noam Youngrak Son, communication designer practicing queer publishing, speculates on possible unionisation between precarious designers and AI, especially given concerns about the devaluation of design work as a result of generative AI. Kira Xonorika, interdisciplinary artist, writer and futurist, visualises an indigenous, trans AI in generated images and audio, creating an origin story for the axiological restoration of time and space in the future. The residents have had access to creative sparring with the artists Idil Galip, Moisés Horta Valenzuela, Neema Githere, Petja Ivanova, and Vanessa A. Opoku.
Location: k4 und kmh auf Kampnagel (Jarrestraße 20, Hamburg).

Talk: Dreaming Beyond AI – On Time and AI
Today's AI reinforces temporal norms in which time is not evenly distributed. While some can enjoy the illusion of comfort through speed, others see their time decrease. In this residency, Dreaming Beyond AI has artistically explored, questioned, deconstructed, and played together with the artists in residence around ideas, perceptions, and experiences of time and temporalities.
