Why We Started THE ROBOTS
Exploring AI through workshops, experiments, and community
Dear friends,
I spend a lot of time either in front of my computer or on the road, and both can feel a bit isolating.
Coming back to Berlin reminded me how good this city is for meeting other talented creatives and people I love.
THE ROBOTS
For the past two years, Paula Kühn and I have been working together on a series of AI projects.
We’ve done everything from creating an interactive exhibition at the German Parliament to training LoRAs for a Prada fashion collection, and most recently collaborating with Limn on projects for LVMH.
At some point it just felt right to give this collaboration a name. After running a studio called THE PEOPLE, the next step in the age of AI is THE ROBOTS.
Our work is about guiding creative companies into the world of AI. We run workshops, test new tools, and keep searching for the edges of what’s possible. Along the way we are building a community of people who share the same curiosity and enthusiasm.
Right now we are finishing the website, getting our social media right, and preparing presentation decks.
Two days ago we had our first public kickoff at SoireeXD.
Thank you for inviting us! 🙏❤️🚀
The Peters World
For some years I’ve been drawing this little character called Peter.
He has found his way onto postcards, calendars, pillows, even tiny t-shirts for kids. Until now I mostly gave them to friends as small gifts.
Lately a few people have been asking where they can get their own Peter. So very soon there will be a small online shop where his friends can pick up their own piece of Peter’s world.
AI Archive
Right now I am collaborating with Hyphen Works and ArtCamp on a new AI project. As part of that process I had a very inspiring call with Antonio Savasta Alsina.
Antonio is a creative from Argentina who, like me, builds surreal worlds with AI.
And just like me, he ends up with an overwhelming amount of images, most of them sitting on hard drives.
That conversation sparked an idea. I want to build a system where I can properly catalog all my AI images and videos.
Something that lets me search by tags, image features, or even push them directly into an online shop or other creative workflows.
More about that soon…
Thanks for reading! 🙏
Much love,
Marius
