Some snapshots from our workshop at @GrayAreaorg Festival!
It was a full house — thank you to everyone who joined us and built unique worlds in Fuser, and to the festival for having us.
'Prosthetic Pixels: Worldbuilding with AI, Style & Self' was led by our founders, @dalenaxtran and @hiradsab. Participants teamed up to imagine speculative futures, and we were truly amazed by the results — each group created distinctive and inspiring worlds.
If you’re interested in bringing a Fuser workshop to your community, reach out and lets plan one!
