Slow AI

A promotional graphic for the "Slow AI" virtual exhibition by the Leonardo CripTech Incubator. The artwork features a stylized, minimalist landscape with black mountain silhouettes set against a gradient sky that fades from blue to peach. A large white sun rises behind the peaks, while orange clouds float above, raining down vertical white dotted lines that resemble data streams. The title "Slow AI" appears in bold orange text in the center.

Slow AI is the culminating exhibition of CripTech AI Lab 2025. The CripTech AI Lab is a virtual creative incubator that utilizes community-driven digital and new media art projects to engage, critique and reimagine the relationship between disability and artificial intelligence. This virtual lab spans a 4-month period that includes creative, technical and conceptual workshops, guest speakers (scholars, artists, creative technologists), individual project development, and one-on-one project review and advising sessions with the lead artist, culminating in a virtual exhibition, presentation and panel review. Participants will explore themes such as: Algorithms of self-discovery and the creation of personal tools for personal discovery; data ownership; discovery through AI without being mediated through commercial platforms; using open source and indie “tools that don’t try to eat you”.

Experiments in Art, Access & Technology

The letters E.A.A.T. are outlined in blue aside from the second A, representing Access, which is filled in with a bold blue. Under the acronym are the words Experiments in Art, Access & Technology. This text is underlined by sound waves of varying amplitude. Tinged in blue and orange, the waves reverberate and fade into the black background.

E.A.A.T. is the culminating exhibition of Leonardo CripTech Incubator, an art and technology fellowship for disability innovation. Encompassing residencies, workshops, presentations, publications, and education, this innovation incubator creates a platform for disabled artists to engage and remake creative technologies through the lens of accessibility. Employing a broad understanding of technologies, including prosthetic tools, neural networks, software. and the built environment, CripTech Incubator reimagines enshrined notions of how a body-mind can move, look, communicate. Comprising the inaugural cohort of CripTech Incubator, the five artists developed their projects in four residencies in California: Beall Center, Santa Barbara Center for Art Science and Technology (SBCAST), RadMad Disability Lab at UC Berkeley, and Thoughtworks Arts, which closed in 2023.
