AI x Animation
We’ve culminated and poured the experiences, feels, experiments, tensions, questions & resolutions we encountered over the 6 months of the residency into a publication 🍿
This is our way of synthesising and sharing the findings for others to build on, and to open up space for more critical, constructive, nuanced conversation around AI in relation to creative practice.

RE: <STORY&CODE> PROGRAM
<STORY&CODE> is a collaborative research-by-making program and artist residency exploring AI in animation specifically, and filmmaking and storytelling at large. AIxDESIGN partnered with Sublab, the R&D of Submarine Channel - a film and animation production house, to move past the buzz and explore AI’s creative potential & challenges which resulted in launching this program.
We invited 12 artists, each with a background in either creative technology or film, to explore the use of AI tools in their animation & digital filmmaking practice and reflect with us on the impact on both output and process as storytellers and makers.
Want more?
To continue building on the research, we’re also inviting you to add to the Miro board where we initially collected our thoughts & research to compile into the report and which we hope to keep evolving as a living doc.
THANKIES
We like to give a final shout out to everyone that’s been part of the <STORY&CODE> program: the residents, the AIxDESIGN team, and Sublab thank you, for showing it happen to make it all happen and come together as it did.
