Beth Coleman explores methods of “speculative AI” and Black computing. Her project stakes a commitment to the experimental design of machine learning, which departs from predictive applications that all too often reproduce the socio-technological status quo (or worse) to move towards a generative aesthetic of other possible worlds. Through the Butler AI project, she creates a series of visual works inspired by the ‘Xenogenesis’ trilogy by celebrated science fiction author Octavia E. Butler. Coleman’s project seeks out the wild peripheries of modern computational culture and politics, in turn framing broader ethical and aesthetic questions around AI-driven artistic practices.
