The Arts Incubator

Winnipeg, Manitoba

As a comprehensive skills development and participatory research initiative, the program encompassed a wide spectrum of creative and technical learning opportunities. Over six months, artists, creatives, and researchers engaged deeply with generative AI concepts, experimented with building custom GPTs, and applied agentic design principles to collaborative storytelling and narrative projects. The program further emphasized transversal creation, data management, automation, and rapid application development, while fostering advanced exploration of storytelling, narrative structures, and systems design. By bridging these interdisciplinary domains, the initiative equipped participants with the technical fluency, creative agility, and AI literacy needed to navigate emerging AI-driven workflows and co-create innovative, human-centred solutions across media, research, and cultural production.

When we talk about AI agents in popular culture, we often imagine something autonomous, almost sentient: a voice that understands us perfectly and acts on its own. But in reality, the kind of systems we’re exploring are far more precise, methodical, and controlled. They are stateful orchestration engines, designed to interpret human intent and transform it into structured, reliable outputs. In other words, they turn creative chaos into ordered, auditable data.
