Today is the 10 year anniversary of Alt-AI!
Alt-AI was a 3-day conference in NYC hosted by @sfpc and curated by me, exploring the then very niche field of creative AI.
Lots of amazing artists and people participated, including talks by @mtyka@hdeweyh@RebeccaFiebrink@quasimondo@aparrish@golan@arnicas@bwhitman.
There was also an exhibition with early AI art by @kcimc@memoakten@dribnet@hardmaru@schwittlick_@xululululuuum and many others.
I had never thought about organizing or curating before, but when @zachlieberman asked me to put it together, I thought I might never get another chance to put a roster like this into one room together, so I went for it. I'm still grateful and nostalgic for these days when this technology was so new weird and unexplored.
