It is not the slip-box or our brains alone, but the dynamic between them that makes working with it so productive.

The Lab’s mission is also to develop a critical literacy that can help cultural institutions approach AI technologies as advanced and multilayered media. While reliant on the highly specialised theoretical work needed to untangle issues such as ‘distributed authorship’ (Ascott 2005; Zeilinger 2021) involved in artistic research, the Lab does not sh

The human mind perceives, forms concepts, learns, makes judgements, feels emotions, uses language, remembers, invents, dreams, desires. How can so much complexity be captured in a single image? Clearly, some aspects of mental life must be prioritised at the expense of others. But which ones? And after those choices have been made, does the 'picture
