Applications are now open for Logic School 2023 year 2! Logic School is an online, community run, experimental school for tech workers looking to remake tech from below. It's stewarded by participants from our first cohort @whyderrick@emilychaosays, with support from @xrw.
Wrote about some of my personal reflections on my recent engagements with "Computational Anthropology and Exploring Identity through Artificial Synthesis" using AI Image generation (especially #Dreambooth) here:
Crate dug for 3/4 days in Barcelona and found so much great music. Made a 2 hour vinyl mix including everything from Italo Disco to Bossa-Negra to Spanish rap to Dubhouse to Jamaican Jazz and beyond, here:
Such joy! Made a mix via vinyl celebrating influences of Africa across jazz, funk, disco, and more. The bending of percussive styles so enamoring. Listen here 🌍❤️https://soundcloud.com/ariciano/abraboabrabo…
We are excited to share the latest edition of #InConversationwithGoogleAtap. This time we have talked to @aricianoo, a designer, creative technologist and researcher who is passionate about exploring the relationships between various forms of design and sentient experiences.
Meet Ari Melenciano, a NYC based artist, creative technologist, researcher and college professor. Ari is passionate about exploring and explaining the relationships between design and sentient experience. (1/2)
to contribute an essay on building Afrocentric technoculture and community as part of their #TechAsArt: Supporting Artists Who Use Technology as a Creative Medium. Here's the piece I wrote:
speak at #imaginfra quoting "Art would not exist if we understood each other" – thinking a lot about how we communicate and listen to each other's problems and dreams, and imagine solutions and mechanisms to create new realities
Great questions from participants "As we all begin to move away from harmful institutions of capitalist, patriarchal, white modernity and create communities of care with each other - how do we build connections across & between us & between our different communities? #imaginfra
10 June: a group of wise & knowledgeable people come together to discuss Imagination Infrastructuring & social change.
Session 3 of the afternoon is called The Black Imagination(s),
For Imagination Infrastructuring, we will hold space to explore Black Imagination(s). I get to converse with 3 folks who inspire me greatly: @aricianoo@MelissandreVar1@SuriyaAisha. Thinking of spirit as technology, pedagogies, pleasure, sci fi + more.

It’s all in the flick of the wrist--or in this case, the finger ☝️
Finger User Interface (or FUI) lets you navigate websites and control devices with the swish of a single digit: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/finger-user-interface…
Tiny Motion Trainer is a code free tool that lets you create custom models based on IMU data.
Inspired by Teachable Machine, we created a tool that allows you to capture movement, label it, train a model, and deploy: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/tiny-motion-trainer…
Lite for Microcontrollers presents a huge opportunity for innovation.
We challenge you to create a project that shows all that the tech has to offer. Learn more: http://g.co/TFMicroChallenge…
has created an interactive Miro Board about her work for you to add ✍️comments and 🤔questions that she'll answer during her interview on 6/4: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lCBsZP4=/…
And you can enter our The TensorFlow Microcontroller Challenge to win $2,500 in cash, have the opportunity to participate in a one hour session with members of Google’s TensorFlow team and have your project featured on select Google channels!
We’ve been exploring the potentials of machine learning on a microcontroller the size of a stick of gum at Google’s Creative Lab. Spent the past couple of months with a beautiful team creating FUI (finger user interface) - learn more here:
