Wilding AI is a nomadic and polymorphic research-creation lab. It questions the current domestication of artificial intelligence into predefined operational modes, aiming instead to foster new avenues for creative expression, particularly in spatial audio. As a collective of artist-researchers, we reject the commodification of technology. Instead, we engage with it poetically and experimentally by (mis)using, hijacking, or outright breaking machine-learning media generators to explore new forms of human-machine collaboration.
Centering on public engagement, the collective has focused on R&D residencies and open-studio presentations at leading international venues, including MUTEK and SAT Montreal, MUTEK Mexico, MONOM Studios for CTM Festival Berlin, and 4DSOUND for FIBER Festival in Amsterdam.
