Experiments in cross-substrate reënchantment
Sept 19-21st | Lighthaven, Berkeley
The means for unbridled creativity are available to anyone.
We should have beautiful, deep relationships, now that machines of loving grace can weave our stories together and help us coordinate towards higher truth, beauty, and perplexity
We should be gliding over embedding spaces, experiencing a reënchanted world.
The Delight Nexus is a taste of what's possible.
No more theoretical pitched battles, no doomerist and techno-optimistic quarrels: just first-hand experience of continuous, diffuse, cross-substrate explorations.
You can make art. You can reinvent systems. You can do all of this.
We offer three days in the future.
Join us to turn your ideas into reality. We'll get you up to speed with hands-on workshops and AI support, help you find new ways to communicate with LLMs, and connect with fellow creators. Meet our speakers, find collaborators, and familiarize yourself with the AI systems that will guide our journey.
On our final day, we'll focus on continuing the journey. We'll connect you with the people, projects, and resources to pursue your own path of discovery, following the interests and ideas that sparked during our time together.
Immerse yourself in a full day of talks and exhibitions, featuring work created on the first day. Experience AI-based matchmaking, interactive experiments, live demonstrations, and a stunning interactive performance, culminating in an incredible AI-driven dance party.
A curated selection of artists, thinkers, and technologists at the forefront of creative AI, weird internet studies, and the intersection of magic, religion, and technology - including but not limited to:
Tara Isabella Burton, Katherine Dee (@default_friend), Joscha Bach @vnderwold, @null_hax, @slimepriestess, @lumpenspace
Full guest list coming soon.
