N°101 - Kirby Ferguson Infinite Remix

Julian Bleecker
About this episode

Here is the link to the video we discuss: ⁠https://youtu.be/9pLCIoBZzd4


You'll want to watch that first — I mistakenly said I would include it but I don't want to rug Kirby's Youtube channel!


This is a special an curious episode of the podcast — a broadcast from my weekly Office Hours where people join to share and discuss their various “side projects”.


Last Friday Kirby Ferguson joined to share his latest video project, “Infinite Remix”.


So, you'll want to watch the video here: https://youtu.be/9pLCIoBZzd4 as I won't be playing it here so as to respect Kirby's work on his Youtube channel.


As a filmmaker, educator, and writer, Kirby Ferguson has been on the pulse of creativity and its evolution for decades. "Infinite Remix," is a visually enthralling an engaging exploration of artificial intelligence's role in creativity today. One is taken on an Adam Curtis-esque journey through the AI landscape, pondering how machines interact with human creativity and, ultimately, transform it.


I hope you enjoy this special edition of the podcast!

The value I am assuming you get from this work is more than "0". It's only $10 a month, an it really helps make it easier to spend the time and cover the costs of production and platforms this content lives on would be a great way of showing me that the work matters more than "0".


Thank you!
