Baltan Academy | Make Technology Yours Again

About us

Learn how the smartest people in the world are using AI to think, create, and relate. Each week I interview founders, filmmakers, writers, investors, and others about how they use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney in their work and in their lives. We screen-share through their historical chats and then experiment with AI live on the show. Join us to discover how AI is changing how we think about our world—and ourselves.

🚀 "Demand No Automation: Towards a 'Progressive' AI Art" with Wesley Goatley 💫 Wesley Goatley is a Senior Lecturer on MA Interaction Design at London College of Communication. Wesley is an artist and digital media theorist, whose work examines the politics and aesthetics of data, machine learning, and networked technologies. His work in installation, sound art, and sculpture is exhibited internationally, including recent shows at Milan Design Week, the V&A Museum, Seoul SFX Festival, and Eyebeam in New York. He gives regular guest lectures and talks on his practice and research at events including CTM Festival Berlin, Global Art Forum Singapore, and the European Data Forum in Eindhoven. 🐑 A part of "Future Worlds and Machine Learning" presented by Autonomous Sheep

Summer and Winter Fellowships provide an opportunity for early-career individuals or individuals new to the field of AI governance to work on a research project and learn about the field.

ALL LIGHT, EVERYWHERE is an exploration of the shared histories of cameras, weapons, policing and justice. As surveillance technologies become a fixture in everyday life, the film interrogates the complexity of an objective point of view, probing the biases inherent in both human perception and the lens.

A group show by SPACE Art + Tech Focus – Next and InProcess residency artists, posing questions about what it means to be human and a citizen in the digital age, through work in progress and research developed throughout the residency. In response to the theme Future Human, the artists explored how AI (Artificial Intelligence) is impacting the way we understand the world. Works have been created with the use and subversion of emergent technologies such as facial recognition, data algorithms, augmented reality, voice recognition and moving image. Audiences are invited to create their own data ritual, explore ideas on machine bias and life post death and take a journey through distant past and future to experience Earth’s climate. My collaboration with artist Shinji Toya centres around a critical examination of the limits of categorisation in machine learning systems. Specifically, we’re interested in the institution and function of racial categories in image-based facial recognition algorithms; the project questions how social structures and technical systems intertwine to intensify existing conditions of bias and inequity, and how this bias operates as a substrate of the algorithmic image. Layers of Abstraction: A Pixel at the Heart of Identity is a visual indication of research-in-progress, presenting the mixed technological method we used to uncover a single pixel that represents the limit between ‘Asian’ and ‘White’ racial categories in a commercial facial recognition system. By passing the image through more than one image-based algorithm, we begin to distil the locus of difference as read by the machine-eye. The pixel acts as a threshold through which the system reconfigures itself and, in doing so, gives rise to identities hidden amidst arrays of colour channel data. The minute, discrete, and tangible nature of the pixel as a racialized limit point between categories points to a social problem at the heart of abstraction in machine learning systems.

What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence" - a solution supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues, to the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the
