This interactive workshop invites participants to explore the intersection of physical art and machine learning, guided by the creative technologists behind daisy. Together, we’ll move through the full cycle of making, from analog collage and drawing to digital training and AI image generation.

Through a series of tactile, collaborative stations, you’ll create a collection of handmade artworks that will become the foundation for training personalized LoRA (Low-Rank Adapter) models using daisy’s platform. Participants will rotate through three creative paths: Prompt Crafting, Pod Building, and Image Curation, offering unique ways to experiment with AI as a creative tool.

This workshop is ideal for artists, technologists, designers, the AI-curious, or anyone looking to deepen their relationship with new technologies through hands-on process.
