HTTLAB is hosting and moderating this year's AMRO Showcase night.
In this series of 5 mini-workshops, we approach generative AI not as a tool to optimise writing, but as a cultural logic to be tested and artistically misused. Through short collective exercises, we experiment with counter-practices that reclaim freedom from the efficiency logic of plausibility machines by making room for ambiguity, detours, and deliberate stupidity as methods. Participants leave with a small set of transferable tactics for interrupting smooth, predictive language and opening other modes of sense-making.
