<STORY&CODE>
<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.

<STORY&CODE> IS OUR JOINT PROJECT WITH AMSTERDAM BASED SUBLAB,THE R&D DIVISION OF SUBMARINE CHANNEL. WE INVITED 12 PARTICIPANTS, EACH WITH A BACKGROUND IN EITHER CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY OR STORYTELLING, TO EXPLORE THE USE OF AI TOOLS IN THEIR ANIMATION & DIGITAL FILMMAKING PRACTICE AND REFLECT WITH US ON THE IMPACT ON BOTH OUTPUT & PROCESS AS STORYTELLERS AND MAKERS.
AI X ANIMATION REPORT
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.
WATCH THE TEASERS
This playlist features all 6 teasers created by the pairs during the residency.
ARTIST TALKS + WORKSHOPS
You can also watch artist talks & workshop by invited artists & speakers Erik Peters, Soyun Park, Fabian Mosele and Amritha Warrier.
WATCH THE AFTERMOVIE
We invited videographer Steven Elbers who ended up doing much more than create an aftermovie of the gathering, but managed to visually tell the story of AIxDESIGN in what feels like a 3-min mini documentary of our own.
THANK YOU!
<STORY&CODE> has been an incredible project and we'd love to build on this work.
