QT.bot - Sitting here with you in the future

Lucas LaRochelle's “QT.bot - Sitting here with you in the future” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2023, category Artificial Life & Intelligence.

QT.bot is an artificial intelligence—trained on the dataset of the community mapping platform Queering The Map (www.queeringthemap.com)—that generates speculative queer and trans narratives and images of the environments in which they might unfold.
