Spaceport Vancouver: AI Community Meetup - Kris Krüg | Generative AI Tools & Techniques

Vancouver AI Community Meetup Recap Video - March 2024

Deep in the avant-garde hideaway known as Future Proof Creatives studio, a crew of curious minds convenes monthly to chart new frontiers in the vast cosmos of AI. Welcome to the Vancouver AI Community Meetup - a convergence of humans and sentient beings exploring the uncharted reaches of machine intelligence and creativity.

A Diverse Crew United by Wonder

Our mission? To cultivate a community as multifaceted as the AI universe itself. Open to all life forms - from code wizards to starry-eyed dreamers - our meetups forge a genuine zone for tangible insights, spacefaring tech discussions, and the transparent exchange of ideas lightyears ahead of their time.

Whether researcher, artist, entrepreneur, scholar or existential free radical, all are united by an insatiable curiosity to explore AI's real-world applications and navigate the ethical nebulae together.

The Latest Episode in Our Epic

The most recent gathering? Oh, it was a spectacle of intellect and creativity:

• VIP Cameo: Brenda Bailey, BC's own JEDI... Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation, graced us with her presence, promising to turn the next meetup into a veritable who's who of the tech world.

• Return of the Void Mother: Picture this: Marina Tsougrianis, transcending human form to become the Holy Mother of the Void and Orbit Princess, spinning tales of the cosmos with her avant-garde flair. A performance so out of this world, it had me questioning her mere mortal status.
• John's VR Wonderland: Enter John Desnoyers-Stewart's domain, where VR and AI blend into an artistic escapade that redefines reality. His installations, Bardo and Starstuff are portals to other dimensions where physics is just a suggestion.

• A Match Made in AI Heaven: Sparks flew, and ideas blossomed into a partnership destined to redefine democracy—or at least make for an exciting hackathon. Thanks to a serendipitous meetup mingle, Participedia’s all-women tech squad and Northeastern University Vancouver’s brightest are now on a quest to chart the unexplored terrains of Participedia data.
