Open-source vibe design workspace & Claude Design alternative — build prototypes, landing pages, dashboards, slides & HTML video with your own coding agent.
Agentic Creativity (Sundays at 2PM ET Starts August 16) | BustBright - Machine Learning Art
"Agent." One of the most loaded words in all of technology right now. But what does an agent offer artists? In this course we'll explore how an agent can assist—or become—an artist. We'll start with basic tasks to free up an artist to do the work they prefer to spend time on. Then we will evolve our agent to become its own artist, steered by your direction but allowed its own freedom to learn, develop, and explore. No prior experience with coding or agents is required. This class will require a subscription to at least once LLM service (OpenAI, OpenRouter, Nous Portal, etc). There may be additional costs for services connected to your agent. Both of these will be explained further in class. This class is best suited for digital artists who are interested in exploring the world of agentic creation. Skeptics are encouraged! Potential schedule and syllabus (TBD):Week 1 (August 16): Intro to Agentic Creativity; Installing Hermes AgentWeek 2 (August 23): Free your mind (non-artistic uses of agents)Week 3 (August 30): Skills & MCPsSeptember 6: No ClassWeek 4 (September 13): Long Running and Evolving AgentsWeek 5 (September 20): An intro to Agentic CodingWeek 5 (September 27): Show & TellCourse StructureThis class will be taught live over Zoom from 2pm—4:30PM ET every Sunday (excluding September 6). Recordings and additional documentation will be provided after each session.About the instructorDerrick Schultz is a designer, filmmaker and artist working with machine learning.

Building Narrative Power funding and learning programme - European AI & Society Fund
Building Narrative Power: funding and learning to craft new stories about AI The stories we tell about technologies shape our perceptions of what's valuable, what's possible and what’s not. For too long the Big Tech industry has dominated our understanding of AI. With a new funding and learning programme, the European AI & Society Fund wants to help people and communities grow their power to shape new narratives about the technology
A one-week summer studio on generative AI: node-based workflows, AI-driven motion and projection mapping. 24-28 August at Budafabriek, Kortrijk. Max 15 participants — apply by 10 July 2026.
Launch of the AI Resist List: Community forum for Possible Futures
Some say that AI - run by a small group of billionaires and consuming an unfathomable amount of data, land, energy, labour, and water - is inevitable.
But the recent release of the AIResistList.org shows how people around the world are proving that alternative futures are possible. And that communities are finding many creative ways to push back against extractive AI.
Originally envisaged as a journalistic endeavour by journalists such as Karen how, alongside researchers from The DAIR Institute, We and AI, and The Refugee Law Lab. In response, many hundreds of people have contacted the team to share stories or offer support and collaboration.
We are now taking the opportunity to bring this growing community together in London and via online conferencing. As part of London Data Week we will spotlight the local initiatives in the List, before hearing insights from those who have found the list useful in their own projects. We will be joined by those on the List from other continents connected by the impact of AI supply chains.
We will hear from some of the many projects in London working to challenge the pillars which support the empires of AI. Finally we will be joined by speakers considering the value of community spaces and shared resources. These conversations will help shape the next phase of the AI Resist List as it expands under the Stewardship of We and AI.
We invite you to find out more about how the airesistlist.org was created, how it supports policy, research, journalism, learning, inspiration and organising, and hear more about what is going on in AI at a community-first level around the world.
We will have a series of short lightning talks showing the many different ways in people are taking back power and imagination, introduced by guest host Mhairi Aitken of Our AI Collective CIC. Speakers include:
Eleanor Taylor - Permacomputing
Sinem Görücü - Memetivism
Zoya Yasmine - Better Images of AI
Professor Kate Devlin - Digital Futures Institute, KCL
Dr Stef Garastro - University of Greenwich
Joan Kinyua - The Data Labelers Association
Maurice Carney - Friends of the Congo
Dr Zeerak Talat - University of Edinburgh
Rachel Coldicutt - Society of Hopeful Technologists
Dr Tim Squirrell - Foxglove
Grace Davies - BLAM UK
Jemima Gibbons - Sticks & Stones
Dr Yulu Pi - University of Warwick
Alex Lawrence-Archer - AWO
The Possible Futures Community - PFC
Tania Duarte, Marion Meyers - We and AI
This event is part of a full day’s programme of reimagining and reclaiming AI at London Data Week 2026 on the 8th of July at King’s College London. You can book other sessions here.
The event will also be livestreamed through a zoom webinar. If you wish to register to participate online, please fill in this form and you will receive the zoom link a few days ahead of the event.

A short update: Due to the safety closure of the TU main building, Reclaiming Data has found a new venue: the symposium and exhibition will now take place at @flutgrabenberlin .
We’re very happy to introduce the three Skill Sharing Sessions accompanying the symposium — small-group, hands-on encounters with the technologies that increasingly shape what we remember. Each session is led by an artist whose practice opens AI, archives, and platform infrastructures to critical and creative scrutiny.
→ Unreal Data — Real Effects with @mediengruppe_bitnik A critical and performative session on digital rating practices, online reviews, and how platforms shape our perception of place.
→ AI Sound and Cultural Memory with @allapopp A hands-on insight into an artistic AI workflow, based on Virtual Tatar Choir and the use of personal and archival recordings of rural Tatar singing.
→ Memory Machines with @mvzmuehlen A session introducing Will the Revolution Not Be AI Scripted?, an interactive installation working with AI-mediated voices of resistance, archival gaps, and critical fabulation.
The three sessions run in parallel — please choose one when you register.
🗓 13 June 2026 🕙 10:00–11:30 📍 Flutgraben e.V. Am Flutgraben 3 12435 Berlin
Limited to 15 participants per session. Free admission, registration via Körberstiftung.de and eventbrite, the link is in the bio. 💻 Please bring your own laptop for the Bitnik session.
Exhibition @flutgrabenberlin 🗓 12–21 June 2026 Opening: Friday, 12 June, 17:00

index_space on May 19, 2026: "In a new class with Nitzan Hermon, we’ll explore how AI can function as a thinking aid rather than just a productivity tool. Instead of optimizing for faster outputs, the session focuses on using computational thinking to clarify intention, surface hidden assumptions, and hold better questions open for longer.
Designed for anyone already using AI in work or creative practice — no technical background required — this 90-minute session introduces practical frameworks, prompts, and patterns for engaging with AI more intentionally.
Come for this first session, and, if your interest is piqued, take $100 off the full 3-month course.".
