luddite.com/munity, a collaboration with Jacob Marcus, speculates on the effects artificial intelligence will have on our lived experience—our interpersonal relationships, language, labor, cognition, and culture. Set in a fictional post-Providence in 2073, it imagines the struggle of a society facing the effects of climate change but stunted by their over-reliance on artificial intelligence. The navigation of conflicting culture and language within the same time and place animates the project, reflecting the outcomes of hegemonic and counter-hegemonic orientations to society and technology. Competing factions’ tensions—one, a governing group of luddites; the other a secret sect of unknown locals worshipping AI models like gods—are illustrated through typographic objects and language. Language, a central aspect of the work, is infused with new meaning without the existence of its former technological or cultural referent: oral retellings of ‘Brat Summer’ are regarded as folk history, reels refer to subsistence fishing instead of Instagram, and tindr is the social gathering of the community around a fire. It is a humorous and embodied contemplation of a possible future, drawing out and exaggerating the issues of our current trajectory.
