IS IT AI?

TEKWITCH believes in harm reduction, not purity tests. The following labels exist to help users make informed choices about how they pursue their own ends.

NO AI NEEDED

Using these products does not require an AI.

AI OPTIONAL

Using these products can involve at least one optional feature that relies on some form of local machine learning; no data center involved.

AI PAYLOAD

This dependency is itself a trained machine-learning model or a packaged representation of one.

AI NATIVE

These products are designed to operate inside existing AI systems, specifically for the purposes of reducing one or more negative aspects of AI adoption: misuse, overuse, inference waste, and/or infrastructure bloat.

AI INVOLVED

These products were developed through a process in which TEKWITCH chose to incorporate at least one artistic or creative step powered by some form of machine learning.

WORK

Bring an actual thing.

I make tools, test physical things, build interfaces, and follow odd problems until something useful falls out. Bring me the result you want, the constraints, and what you can put behind it.

CURRENT PRACTICE

How do you work?

I make things when explaining the problem has stopped being useful.

I'm one person with a crowded workbench. Most of the work starts with friction: a tool that wastes attention, a process that keeps failing the same way, a claim that has never been tested, or an object that should exist and does not. I tend to answer by making something concrete enough to use, break, inspect, or wear.

That includes instruments you can use, interfaces you can play, and wearables and objects that have to work outside the screen. Whenever possible, I put my hands on the work and make it in public through LIVE. I also work on authority-constrained AI familiars because power without a boundary is not a feature.

If you've explored the site, you already have some idea of what interests me. Now tell me what you would put on the bench.

ONE EXAMPLE / TOYS

A different angle can change the answer.

I made Parallax because a convincing answer can still come from the wrong frame. Here is the instrument itself. Take it apart, try it, or bring me the next problem.
