Community Exhibition Launch: Machine Imagining

Machine Imagining is a project with artist Kate Geck, inviting the Maribyrnong community to explore the natural world in collaboration with machine intelligence. Through a series of free workshops, community members were invited to draw creatures from the local area - plants, animals and insects.

These drawings and photos were used to produce a community database of observations of the local, natural world. These datasets then trained machine learning models to generate new, machine imaginings of the Maribyrnong area. These imaginings were arranged through collage into large hanging textiles, and finally were finished with hand embroidery.

Kate worked with a dedicated and ongoing group of Braybrook community members through all stages of the project, spanning from January to June 2023. Please join us at the launch of these works where they will be displayed for all to enjoy in the Braybrook Hub Access Gallery.

Refreshments will be served.
