My aim, here, is to train myself, my practice and business, my methods and understanding in the age of AI, in a society now close to being fully digitised, with financial crisis looming again — just like when I started.
This is not just a creative exercise; it’s a personal and partial yet intentional response to a specific historical condition. Digitisation flattened a lot of the technical differentiation that used to justify certain practices, specialisations and trainings. AI is flattening another few layers. I’m purposefully training my capacity to know what’s worth making, and in what form.
This is a form of hygiene. I’m not trying to compete with generative throughput — I’m developing my faculty to judge it, to direct it, to inflect it.
I’m training for conditions I cannot fully predict (while recognising this might be a total delusion). This is training in public. This is a training log. Some things will land, some might even work, fewer I guess will grow from here, hopefully a couple will bloom.
