Exploring A/I Artistic Intelligence
Irony is about contradictions that do not resolve into larger wholes, even dialectically, about the tension of holding incompatible things together because both or all are necessary and true. Irony is about humour and serious play. It is also a rhetorical strategy and a political method,
one I would like to see more honoured within socialist-feminism. (Donna Haraway)

Project description
The (DDL)2 - my creative research lab - is currently in the process of developing a new project and grant proposals. In preparation for this I'm organizing a mini-symposium to map landscapes of ideas, brainstorm wild dreams, and possibly find collaborators and project partners (both research and companies). This project will serve as a conceptual and organizational preparation for the (DDL)2 ‘s intention to apply for the 2019 Connaught Innovation Award and perhaps the SSHRC Insight grant, focused on knowledge translation between disciplines, between arts/academia/businesses in the digital economies relevant to our fields.
