This is a two-part workshop series exploring feminist approaches to creative writing with Open Source AI and the printing press.
Organised by Katy Dadacz (Comparative Literature PhD) and Matilda Hicklin (Translation PhD), in collaboration with Bristol Common Press and supported by the Centre for Creative Technologies.
Unlike AI, printing press type-setting can be physically dismantled – no trace remaining, a one-off occurrence, Yet, both the press and AI areformed of parts that can be reconstituted into endless figurations. This workshop series will be a chance to explore some of these tensions, and disrupt the binary between the digital and analog.
