Disabled folks are peak at using and creating tools for moving, making, yapping and playing. We drive our mechs around town, implant bluetooth in our brains, and beam in from our beds. M Eilo's AI prosthetics stretch this lineage in strange and impractical directions to discover what else disabled bodyminds allow us to be, become, and behold.

M Eilo uses castoffs, computers and community to explore disability as a hotbed of innovation. M is best known for their computational prosthetics including Prosthetic Memory, a homemade AI built to offset the artists long term memory loss, and Masking Machine, a wearable computer which automatically masks the artist’s face and simulates eye contact in social interactions. Some of M’s past work include: Prosthetic Memory(link is external), AI Acne(link is external), Masking Machine, Performance(link is external), Masking Machine, Photography Series(link is external), Visually Similar(link is external)
The AI hype train has derailed. We know all about the environmental impacts, the stolen data, and the sheer boring slop. But is it the algorithms? Or is it the billionaires controlling them? And what happens when artists play puppeteer, shaping AI not for growth, not for profit, but for personal agency, creative discovery, and community power? - M Eilo (BlinkPopShift)
