An innovative AI art residency program led by John Anthony Hartman, an accomplished digital artist known as IHAVEROBOTS. John is a pioneer, merging the intricate worlds of artificial intelligence with the nuanced art of storytelling in VR and the Metaverse. Throughout January, John will conduct a series of interactive workshops called “Building AI Companions,” which explore using AI tools to enhance storytelling.

The workshops will take place on the MØTLEYKRÜG Media Discord server. Participants will learn to develop “AI Muses” to assist in creative work. They will experiment with real-time collaborative storytelling and explore how AI can boost human creativity.

Do you want to tell better stories? Then, it would be best if you started understanding its mechanics. Kris Krüg and I dive deep into story worlds and AI. Building Calliope the Muse as an AI agent will help you learn and craft a better story for engaged audiences. 

Based on an older experiment in Google Dialougflow to create domain-specific knowledge agents with the MUSES. You and I will explore creativity and AI’s current and future landscape. 

John’s work highlights the promising partnership between machine intelligence and human expression. By developing AI tools specifically for narrative design, he is opening new paths for storytellers. This residency provides a space for learning, sharing ideas, and envisioning future possibilities at the intersection of technology and artistic pursuits.

This program has the potential to influence the growing field of AI-driven storytelling. John’s leadership and mentorship will continue nurturing new artists exploring the creative frontier. This marks an exciting stage in the merging of artificial and human imagination.
