Case chronology
Electric South holds AI talks and a one-day workshop at New Dimensions Lab
Electric South's toolkit recalls artist AI talks and a one-day workshop held with Mozilla support in November 2023, bringing together lab participants, creative-industry workers and civic technologists.
Electric South convenes AI and immersive-media governance discussion
The organiser’s retrospective described ten participants from art, technology, and research meeting for two days at Diemersfontein to discuss cultural ownership, local knowledge, and ethics of digital representation. Meta supported the event.
Art practitioners jointly develop AI principles for African creative practice
Electric South held a three-day interdisciplinary gathering in Johannesburg; its account says participants collectively developed seven principles and guidelines for AI in creative practice.
Research question
Records how practitioners who use AI participate in governance and question cultural extraction; this is not equivalent to wholesale technological rejection.
