Topical subgroup · Forming
AI Creativity + Design
AI isn’t just math and models — it’s a medium. A new BC + AI space to explore, provoke, and prototype what happens when creativity and design mutate with algorithms in the mix.
Who’s already in
Founding interest: Matt Lambert, Kris Krüg, Erica.
Looking for more founding voices from product design, graphic design, UX/UI, architecture, visual arts, VFX, and gaming. Your discipline, your tools, your messy sketchbook — all welcome.
What this room is for
From the messy sketchbook to the polished product.
The AI Creativity + Design subgroup carves out a home for anyone curious about the intersection of artificial intelligence and creative practice. Design here is broad: product design, graphic design, UX/UI, architecture, visual arts, VFX, gaming, and more. If your work or curiosity sits where design and AI collide, this is your lane.
- Play, experiment, and push boundaries — not panel theatre.
- Local DNA, rooted in British Columbia’s creative and tech ecosystems.
- From the messy sketchbook to the polished product — both sides of the work belong here.
- Distinct from AI Film Club (which is filmmaking-specific) — broader design surface, same energy.
How we roll
Hands-on, not panels.
Expect prompt jams, prototype critiques, tool demos from working practitioners, gallery walks of in-progress work, and the occasional “ship something tonight” session.
How we’re different
Not a film club, not a hackathon.
- Broader than AI Film Club — covers all design disciplines, not just moving image.
- More creative than a generic AI Vancouver meetup — built for makers, not just observers.
- Less competitive than a hackathon — the goal is exploration, not winning.
- More provocative than a critique group — willing to break things to see what comes out.
