Vibe-Code Your Own Communal Tools with Alice Yuan Zhang

​What would it look like to prototype a different configuration of the internet, one that is less oriented toward broad public visibility, and more grounded in intentional, localized forms of engagement? This workshop looks at the practical potential of AI-assisted coding for community leaders to build small, independent tools for shared use. Drawing from the artist’s experience building a bespoke digital ecosystem for Plot 田, a curated community of creative practitioners, the workshop invites participants to imagine the collective capacity and limitations of AI assisted coding tools as shared resources. Participants will get hands-on exposure in building and hosting their own apps, shared web tools and community platforms.

​Bring your laptop and project ideas! No technical experience necessary.

​Capacity: 20

​Cost: Sliding Scale $25-40
