Following the project’s kick-off at MUTEK Forum 2024, the Wilding AI Lab makes a stop at the 20th anniversary of MUTEK Mexico. The lab is designed as a public experiment for artists, scientists, technicians, theorists and students to demonstrate, test, and experiment with the latest AI systems bridging large-language models, generative AI sound and spatialized audio. It presents an open space to reopen the black boxes of generative AI. It gathers folks to encounter each other and the manifold artistic and technological experiments, interventions and provocations, which not only imagine but materially manifest wild AI futures. 

Throughout the two days the lab featured a series of inspirational talks, skill-sharing workshops and hands-on experimentation by artists and researchers including Beth Coleman, Maurice Jones, Alexandre Saunier, Sahar Homami, Debashis Sinha, and Daniela Huerta (baby vulture). The lab is open and free for participants local and international to join the discussions, learn about the application of generative AI in spatial audio, and collectively explore the wilder territories of AI.

Wilding AI is a collective research-creation project supported by MUTEK, MUTEK Mexico, MONOM Studios, 4DSOUND, Neutone Inc., Concordia University, and the Society for Arts and Technology.

The project is made possible by round 14 of the International Coproduction Fund of the Goethe-Institut.
