AIxDesign

.bonati and Judith from walked us through perma-computing as a concept and a community of practice: what happens when you take permaculture’s design principles and apply them to how we build technology? Regeneration becomes the foundation, and from there the questions follow: who has a seat at the table, whose voices are heard, and how do we design out wastefulness from the start? 🌱

🎪 ABOUT THE AIxDESIGN FESTIVAL
In May 2025, the AIxDESIGN Festival: On Slow AI transformed Loods6 in Amsterdam into a cozy 3-day playground for deconstructing mainstream AI stories, dreaming up new ones, and figuring out how to make them real through a fever dream of interactive talks, hands-on workshops, 600m art exhibition, film screening, and the gathering of hundreds of AI hotties, haters, weirdos, and whisperers from around the globe.

🎪 AIxDESIGN Festival: On Slow AI is made possible with the support of , .school, , , , , Jagt Zwolsman fonds, , and our lovely AIxD Community Supporters.

Are there other stories we can tell, other choices we can make? 🌻

AI is often framed as inevitable: something we must adopt immediately, or risk falling behind. But is that really true? From Thatcher’s “There Is No Alternative” to today’s narratives in education and industry, this Judy and Ola explore how we can question inevitability and imagine alternative ways of engaging with AI.
