CTM 2025

Beth Coleman and Maurice Jones in conversation with Clara Herrmann

The rise of large-scale generative AI has driven powerful actors to push for narrative closure and technical stabilisation, marking a return to the black box after a brief period of openness.

Universalising solutions to the governance, technical development, and creative application of AI reinforce a particular normative stance—a visual, linguistic, or sonic »middle ground« that mirrors a statistical norm of representation.

In this talk artist-researchers Beth Coleman, Romi Morrison, and Maurice Jones explore the ideas behind the Wilding AI Lab which resist normative middle grounds in envisioning technologies “that can be free—if not to imagine then to generate—speeding through possibilities, junctures that are idiotic until they are not.” (B. Coleman, 2021).
