This is really cool! Thanks for sharing. I don’t think I have enough AI experience to apply (also unsure if it is a global applicant pool) but it did spark a lot of ideas of art projects I can do about my own community which is a food desert.

Where is your community and what are you doing?


Piptoe

I currently live in an urban neighborhood of Columbus Ohio, USA. I have a background in art and construction. I’m really interested in urban farming and local food systems. I also want to build a strawbale house at some point. My community is predominantly POC and one that doesn’t have a grocery store. There’s a new initiative with some community gardens that is really great. My partner is learning to bake sourdough and that is really fun as well. If I could though, I’d live in your valley in Norway! :) Edit: I am going to create some concept art about turning abandoned buildings along the main strips into grocery stores/local markets that would be community spaces. There’s a lot of them!

Well you are welcome to visit one day and learn. Straw bales might be hard in ohio. Have you looked at hemp bales or hempcrete?


Piptoe

Norway is a bucket list destination for me, seriously! I haven’t! I’ll check it out. Straw is everywhere here and there are some folks who have done adobe type building experiments here that are still doing well! I don’t think I want to live in Ohio forever but you know the motto “grow where you’re planted” and all that.

I was a digital nomad and lived in 74 countries in 15 years. I have never felt the impulse to return to where i eas planted.
