Bridging the Gap- Analogue & AI
Workshop
3.5 hrs
February 28, 2026 10:30 am Saturday
Bridging the Gap: Analogue and AI is a 4 hours, dialogue-driven workshop that brings together people from traditionally analogue disciplines such as arts, humanities, social sciences, craft, activism, and education with practitioners working in AI and digital systems.
Through a fireside conversation, structured small-group networking, lightning perspectives, and an open floor discussion, the event explores how human intuition, lived experience, and cultural knowledge intersect with artificial intelligence.
This is not a technical training session. It is a space for reflection, exchange, and collaborative sense-making on how analogue and AI worlds meet and influence one another.
