WORKSHOP AI SABOTAGE LAB
w/ Maria Costa Graell, Joana Brisbe, Marta Handenawer of Domestic Data Streamers. This session is brought to you by Elisava, Master in Applied AI for Arts and Design.
During the workshop “AI Sabotage Lab”, we’ll critically explore how artificial intelligence impacts cultural storytelling, focusing on the risks of narrative homogenization. Participants are invited to choose a folkloric story from their background and, by “misusing” AI, we’ll discover how it can unintentionally amplify universalising biases and categorise complex cultural narratives into simplified, homogeneous forms.
**What will we learn during this workshop?
💻 Bring your laptop and your favourite local folklore and, if you want, a couple of pictures too. AI n00b (total beginner) friendly!
