CONSCIOUSMESS by Mama Magnet (Tulika Ahuja × Reza Hasni)

A geo-location social game where strangers in the same space are matched by their inner state - no profiles, no usernames - then unlock a map to find treasure hidden around Nxt Museum. As Tulika put it during her talk: maybe the real treasure is the friends we make along the way.

ABOUT MAMA MAGNET
Mama Magnet (est. 2020) is an independent curatorial unit exploring social, ecological, and mystical conversations through cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural arts. Led by Tulika Ahuja, it draws on a networked body of artists, technologists, and specialists, treating storytelling as an adaptive, collaborative, playful practice. Operating from Amsterdam and Singapore. For this project, Mama Magnet brought together frequent collaborators Tulika Ahuja and Reza Hasni.

ABOUT 🌞
was a micro-residency & showcase by AIxDESIGN x Claude x Nxt Museum. Three artist teams were given two weeks and a pile of Claude credits to build new, interactive ways for visitors to engage with the museum.

We kicked off the :on Slow AI conversation series with Moisés Horta Valenzuela (aka ) and it was such a good one. We got into his SEMILLA.AI project - a generative audio synthesizer that learns from entropy and underfitting rather than mimicry, treating latent space like a synthesizer where the parameters are unknown. 🌱

Moisés broke down how neural audio synthesizers work: raw audio goes in, gets compressed into a latent bottleneck, then reconstructed on the other side. The whole system is tuned to reproduce what it learned. SEMILLA.AI starts from that same architecture and asks what happens when you stop trying to reconstruct perfectly the input data. 📡

Last week Moises was generous enough to teach us all how to train our own audio models. You can read the recap and follow along on → https://app.notion.com/p/nadiapiet/RECAP-Audio-Flows-Train-Your-Own-Real-Time-Generative-Audio-Model-w-Hexorcismos-37c37d003833800fbb65eafbef2d96a8?source=copy_link
