Noam Youngrak Son
Noam Youngrak Son(they/them) is a communication designer practicing queer publishing. The main question of their practice is about revolutionary methods of disseminating deviant narratives. Son attempts to convey the stories of marginalised bodies which often include that of themselves into designed forms that do not conform to the cis-heteronormative and colonial power structure. They inscribe myths for the underrepresented in various mediums, from books to public workshops to 3D printed sex toys.

Workshop: Unionizing the Speculative
The working conditions of creative professionals have changed greatly due to the influence of generative AI. There is a growing fear that the use of AI technology could devalue or even replace human design performance. Can creative workers unionise together with generative AI - in the sense of collaboration rather than instrumentalisation?

The working conditions of creative professionals have changed greatly due to the influence of generative AI. There is a growing fear that the use of AI technology could devalue or even replace human design performance. Can creative workers unionise together with generative AI - in the sense of collaboration rather than instrumentalisation? How can creative workers take responsibility in relation to AI-assisted automation?
In the workshop, led by thehost.is resident designer Noam Youngrak Son, participants will speculate together on these questions and use AI Stable Diffusion to create images that will be engraved on speculoos biscuits. The biscuits, which already have speculation in their name, will serve as symbols for a speculative fundraiser to communicate forward-looking AI work ethics.
Participants are encouraged to bring their computers; however, there will also be options for program participation using a smartphone. No prior knowledge is needed.
Location: Further information at Kampnagel (Jarrestraße 20, Hamburg).
Registration: Kampnagel Ticketshop.
This event will be held in English.

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).
