Join me on a journey to deconstruct the narratives shaping the imagination of the British Somali diaspora, decolonise our perspectives by exploring personal and cultural artefacts at @culturehouseorg, and crafting new narratives for more just and culturally rooted AI futures.
If you are of Somali heritage, used AI in some capacity (this includes chatGPT!), and willing to stretch your imagination, you are welcome to join!
All sessions are free, and meals provided at the in person ones. You can sign up for 1 or more workshops below:
1. Decoding AI Narratives - 28th May (online)
2. Crafting New Imaginaries 1 - 4th June (Culture House)
3. Crafting New Imaginaries 2 - 11th June (Culture House)

18 / 19 / 20 June · Grey Space in the Middle, The Hague
For three days, Cyan Bae (@chaeyuenbae), Francesco Ragazzi (@francesco.ragazzi) and Ruben van de Ven open up five years of the ERC-funded Security Vision project — the films, installations and data work that came out of asking: what does it mean to live under algorithmic eyes, and how do we look back?
🗺️ On view:
▪︎ Two collective interactive data visualisations mapping the global field of security vision: 837 deployments, 2,181 institutions, 131 countries. A first attempt to make the infrastructure of algorithmic surveillance visible at a glance.
▪︎ Welcome to Set by Cyan Bae (premiered at IFFR 2026, Tënk Opening Scenes Award at Visions du Réel). What happens on the sets where AI emotion-recognition systems are trained? Cyan reenacts the strange, playful labour of generating "ground truth" for machines designed to read our faces + Work-in-progress excerpts from Cyan's two upcoming shorts in the deception-detection trilogy.
▪︎ A preview of "An Algorithm of Violence", Francesco Ragazzi's essay film following a software engineer building a violence-detection algorithm. What does it mean, ethically and aesthetically, to teach a machine to recognise a punch?
▪︎ "Perplexity" by Ruben van de Ven (previously at NEXT LEVEL, Dortmund). A camera, a computer and a laser projector predict your path across the room and trace it at your feet. Walk normally, and you become legible. Walk strangely, and you become suspicious. The algorithm's error becomes a measure of suspicion.
📅 Programme
🥂 Wed 18 — opening night
🎙️ Thu 19 — public programme with policy makers, artists, researchers and activists
🖼️ Fri 20 — exhibition day
Free entry. Come look at the machines that are looking at you.

An 8-session online course on AI, language, images and creative workflows
Artificial intelligence is often presented as a set of tools for productivity, automation and content
generation. This course proposes a different approach: AI as a cultural, linguistic and aesthetic
infrastructure. Through theory, demonstrations and hands-on experimentation, participants will learn how to work critically and creatively with generative systems, understanding not only what they produce, but how they organize language, images, knowledge and imagination.
The course is designed for artists, researchers, writers, designers, educators, cultural workers and
students who want to use AI systems with greater awareness, precision and creative autonomy. No
advanced technical background is required. The program combines historical and theoretical
framing with practical exercises in text generation, image and video prompting, creative workflow
design, academic writing, fact-checking and basic automation.
Across eight online sessions, participants will explore the genealogy of prompting, the operational nature of language in AI systems, embedding spaces, prompt design strategies, text-to-image and text-to-video workflows, API-based experimentation, AI-assisted research practices, and the ethical, ecological and political implications of generative technologies.
The workshop will be led by Angela Fusillo (@angela.fusillo_), a digital artist and researcher specialising in artificial intelligence and its social implications.

Our open call for projects Error 406 [Netstalgia] Not Acceptable focuses on the notion of netstalgia: a selective and idealized remembering of earlier phases of the internet. We are looking for projects that reject the longing for a mythic “old internet” and confront the politics of netstalgia head-on.
