A zine about digesting the big emotions aroused by so-called AI, navigating towards critical literacy, and moving on

In the past few years, generative and predictive algorythms have hijacked a huge share of cultural workers’ attention, especially when we think about production, collaboration, and future imaginaries. In this publication, Lucy Perineau and Pierre Huyghebaert draw, write, and chat about emotional responses to algorythmic overload, collect resources for analysing and questioning mainstream narratives, and list new experiences that can help us reposition and flourish in a moving and mutating field. This 48-page zine will be launched and distributed in paper format at Culture Converge 2026.

This is a joint publication by ENCC, Constant, TITiPI, and Kaaitheater.
