Dee Diggs
"Legacy connections on the dancefloor and in the dj booth inspire me to go deeper than ever before. Usually, I can do this by tapping into a spontaneous element of playfulness that allows me to seek catharsis in the imaginative layering of sound, using intuition to connect the messages within the lyric soup of my selections and braiding them all into a story, a feeling or an atmosphere.

I'm grateful for a recording that captured the pure passionate expression and alignment of this night. I got to play Disco, House, and Soul with and for someone as esteemed as Stacey Hotwaxx Hale! This is the opening set, the opening of a portal where the soul awakens and gets to shake and dance to an ecstatic peak in the night."

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Self-expression and connection go hand in hand, the purpose of broadcasting should be to connect. If it's not, maintain your vision, no one else has it. Please play and make music you actually like; it makes everything so much easier when you aren't seeing it through the lens of obligation to others. Going back into my last.fm from middle & high school has reminded me of music that still turns the party for me.

About the mix: Some eerie romance for October, a slight psychedelic Corpse Bride journey through the underworld for a wedding and seeing what remains when you try to resurface. I've been in such an acid house headspace, it's always been this way but moreso than ever. Five years ago I happened to pick up on a friendship with Viva Nova, a woman who lives in my mother's building, and quickly learned about her frequent collaborations with My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult; multitalented but above all a great storyteller, Viva's one of the most badass people I've ever met, and the first song here features her vocals.

"We're pro-AI and we're pro-consent. Those things don't have to be mutually exclusive." The activists and artists talk about the hot button issues facing AI's governance.

The world is deep in the throes of a heightening debate over AI. Just this week, the Vatican published an essay addressing the potential, and risks, of AI in a new high-tech world as well as its intersection with religion and humanity. In politics, figures like Elon Musk are advising citizens that the US government will become increasingly "AI-first," using data about its individuals to make federal decisions. And in the world of culture and the humanities, the alarm has been sounded on AI's ability to both aid in creativity and homogenise the art and music being produced and consumed, raising concerns that much of what's being released is sounding increasingly the same.

There are probably no better experts on this far-ranging topic than Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, two Berlin-based academics and artists who have entrenched themselves in the world of AI ethics, advocacy and art for the past two decades. Now married, they come from DIY punk backgrounds, both having lived in the Bay Area pre-tech bubble while Herndon completed a Ph.D in Computer Music at Stanford. Their work is primarily concerned with how AI is governed as it becomes more ubiquitous in our everyday lives, and what its implications are for ownership of AI-generated artworks.

In this urgent and timely RA Exchange, the duo talk about their shift closer to the art world following their 2024 exhibition at The Whitney Biennial and their most recent show at Serpentine Gallery in London, The Call, which will close at the end of this month. It's one of many forward-thinking projects they've worked on to move away from the fear narrative dominating dialogue around how AI is influencing art and music, instead showcasing how machine learning can be used to push art forward. They also address their view of socialist democratic values with the rise of the far right, raising a young child and doing work that sits squarely between activism and art.
