We had a fabulous roundtable discussion with @anjabechmann.bsky.social @dscheykopp.bsky.social @tgrootkormelink.bsky.social @jiarut.bsky.social here at #aoir2025 that concluded with a thought exercise: "It's 2030 & data donation is the dominant data gathering paradigm, what must we get right today?"

Just presented my paper in AANZCA 2024🥳 We analyzed the fanart creators’ AI protest on Lofter, the first large scale AI protest in China. With unique economic, legal, and cultural status, the case of fanart creators illustrates the challenges gen AI post to marginalized individual creators.

It's been a while but finally this fantastic book is out in the world, and it's open access: unlearn.gestaltung.ai. If you like, check out my slightly provocative contribution "Five Theses on the End of AI Art" here: unlearn.gestaltung.ai/article/pj83...
