2026
Three artist teams – Geoffrey Lillemon, Ivano Salonia, and Mama Magnet (Tulika Ahuja × Reza Hasni) – were given two weeks, a pile of Claude credits and one brief: to build a thing that invites visitors to engage with Nxt installations in new and unexpected ways. The result was a night where 200+ people stirred a digital cauldron, turned their phones into an orchestra, and went hunting for treasure around Nxt Museum.

🦜 2026
How to Talk to People About AI addresses a problem many of us face at work: conversations about AI often polarise into two camps – for or against – making it difficult to have constructive, productive, nuanced discussion. This project is looking to collect practices, tactics and tricks to help facilitators and all of us move conversations beyond the usual standoff and to to give people the tools to have better, more nuanced, real-world conversations about AI that allows people to explore its complexities without tumbling into the hate/hype rhetoric.
How can we have more meaningful, fruitful, non-polarizing, in-depth, nuanced, honest, critical conversations about AI?

2026 - 2027
AIxDESIGN is teaming up with the KB, the National Library of the Netherlands, on an exhibition and program about AI, books & language, open to the public.
Long before neural nets, libraries were the machines we built to organize human knowledge. Broncode puts books made wholly or partly with AI next to artworks that question the technology, and looks behind the magic at the training data, human labor, raw materials and energy AI runs on. What is AI made of, what is it making, and how is it changing the way we write, read, learn, and relate?
It kicks off with a festive opening night on 29 October 2026, followed by three months of talks, workshops and screenings. The exhibition is free and on view at KB in The Hague until 30 January 2027.

You’re sitting on a goldmine of critical AI research. So are we. So is everyone in our networks. So why can't we surface our knowledge when we need it?
Skinny Dip is a small, community-governed AI tool that makes collective knowledge actually searchable, built with and for those who are done feeding their thinking into Big Tech’s black box.
