the
creationship
sunday afternoons, the back room of a vegan restaurant on east 6th street fills with people who share an interest in positive social change and new technology. three hours later, we've built something together.
we don't curate the guest list. the room simply takes the shape of whoever shows up.
past weeks brought together a doula, a prompt engineer, a high school teacher, a muralist, and someone restoring old radios.
one tool we use is "vibecoding" — our new capacity, with ai, to build applications and digital projects with natural language in the form of text prompts.
we are practicing prototyping and building new worlds. the world outside is largely playing a finite game, optimizing for extraction, scale, and speed. in this room, we step out of that.
the relationships that come from this — we call them creationships. the person you build a prototype with over several weeks becomes the person you call at 9 AM because life feels stuck or you're simply out of eggs.
one territory, and two things that shape it.
the territory is where what's forever human — creativity, wisdom, embodiment, attention, craft — meets what's newly possible with ai and the tools arriving around it.
we don't teach ai skills exactly. we practice being human with these tools in the room, which is a slightly different thing.
no experience required. no finish line.
you leave inspired, a little changed, and with people you'll see again.
some weeks, this room makes a tool or a website. some weeks, a friendship forms.
some weeks, a sentence one of us will keep using for the rest of our lives.
