"Just give me somethin' to break" - Limp Bizkit

Join assistant professor of Digital Art Janna Ahrndt and MS in Computer Science Nick Largey in a discussion about the environmental and labor impacts of AI and the widening gap between developers and users through a hands-on data and circuit bending workshop.

Please bring a laptop to this workshop if you are able to.
