DREAMING BEYOND AI is a multi-disciplinary and collaborative web-based project bringing together artists, researchers, activists, and policymakers to create new narratives and visions around AI technologies. The project aims to enable understanding the impact AI technologies on inequity, and questioning mainstream AI narratives as well as imposed visions of the future.

Curators: Nushin Yazdani, Raziye Buse Çetin, Meera Ghani

The Dreaming Beyond AI team

Dreaming Beyond AI is a dynamic and relational experiment. Designed and coded by Iyo Bisseck, the web platform offers a distinct way of experiencing various forms of critical knowledge and creativity. The themes and topics explored through the different contributions include AI Violence, Intelligence, Machine Vision and Feeling, Patterns, Refusal, Planet Earth and Outrastructure, AI and Relationality and Future-Present Vibrations. The themes aim to unpack popular misconceptions and flawed foundations of AI – as technology, business, scientific discipline and ideology – to forge new pathways that are feminist, decolonial as well as supportive of individual and collective freedom while preserving the earth. Dreaming Beyond AI is built as an iterative project and will explore new themes and receive new contributions each term.
