Systems Thinking: Three New Metalabel Releases

Here's a few new Metalabel releases caught my eye and I wanted to highlight here. They all approach technology from slightly different angles, but each is thinking about AI, datasets, or digital environments in interesting ways.

Making Sense of Slow AI by AIxDESIGN https://aixdesign.metalabel.com/slow-ai-zine?variantId=1

A zine exploring alternatives to mainstream AI development. It looks at ideas like small AI, esoteric AI, and ancestral AI, asking what AI might look like if it wasn’t built around speed, scale, and optimization.

SELECT ALL IMAGES by Institute of Machine Unlearning https://instituteofmachineunlearning.metalabel.com/imu003_selectallimages?variantId=1

A project looking at the datasets behind machine vision and the systems used to train AI to recognize images. It’s a nice critique of how machines learn to see and the hidden infrastructure behind that process.

Hotel Infinito by COSA Studio https://cosastudio.metalabel.com/hotelinfinito?variantId=1&retryCount=1

A speculative architecture project built around the idea of an infinite hotel. It explores what a space like that might look and feel like as it keeps expanding and repeating.

Also! We’ll be starting a Metalabel space soon for people interested in planning releases, sharing ideas, and collaborating on projects, so keep an eye out if that’s something you’d want to be part of. 👾🌐💜🌲🌟
