Cultural strategist Patrick Tanguay continues his coverage of MUTEK’s AI Ecologies Lab (see part one) with a field report from the incubator’s rapid prototyping phase. During a week-long hackathon at SAT Montréal, the interdisciplinary resident teams built and tested their sustainable AI proposals (e.g. vibe-coding energy meters) in “hybrid co-creation” sessions. Next up: the final project presentations at this year’s MUTEK Forum (Aug 20-22, 2025).
