Agentic Horror: a Haunted House of Machines

Mon, May 18, 11:00 PM

Columbia DSL, in collaboration with Study Hall, invites you to an evening exploring agentic horror - where systems begin to act and respond in ominous ways. The session opens with a short talk tracing how horror has evolved alongside technology, from machines that mirror us to systems that behave like living organisms to networks that blur individual and collective control. As these systems grow more autonomous, authorship slips, intent becomes unclear, and the boundary between user and system begins to erode. We’ll examine the discomfort of being reflected by something nonhuman, the unease of systems that adapt in real time, and the instability of identity shaped by unseen processes. The evening culminates in a live prototype: an agentic horror experience using spatial audio and exploration. As you move through the environment, the system listens and shifts, constructing a responsive experience that is never quite the same twice. Part talk and part experiment, this meetup continues the Lab’s focus on prototyping as a way of thinking - asking not just what we build with machines, but what it feels like when systems begin to develop their own logic. About STUDY HALL STUDY HALL is a creative building series in Manhattan where all disciplines vibe and play together. At STUDY HALL, everyone's an expert at something, and no technical experience is required. Presented in partnership with the city's frontier voices (Plastic Labs, AI Residency, Zo Computer), and hosted by Charlie Freiberg and Zak Hap.

**NEW LOCATION:** OMG NYC (Origami Meetup Group! New York City) is a group for people to come together and share in the beautiful art of Origami - an ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. The word comes from the combination of the Japanese verb oru (to fold) and the noun kami (paper). Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws. We meet as a group to teach each other new models and share paper, books, and tips. This meeting is free and open to all level of folders from beginners to advanced. There will be free paper available to share. You can bring your own paper and books, so you can just show up and fold! If you have models you would like to learn, or teach, let us know and we will try our best to accommodate. OMG NYC's WTF (Weekly Tuesday Folders) meetup is now located at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library at 455 5th Avenue. The meeting is on the 3rd floor in room 303. Registration is strongly recommended. You can go to the website [bit.ly/omgorigami](bit.ly/omgorigami) and register for the date you will be attending. Seating is limited so those who register for the event are given priority. Food is not allowed in this library except on the 7th floor. Covered drinks are allowed. The library policy for this meetup is that it is for adults only.

Where Art Meets Machine: Creating Stories That Change How We See

Thu, May 28, 11:00 PM

From Startup Grind NYC

4.8

Award-winning directors **[Michaela Ternasky-Holland](https://michaelaternaskyholland.com/?utm_source=luma)** and **[Aaron Santiago](https://aaron.work/?utm_source=luma)** are building worlds at the cutting edge of AI, VR, and immersive media. Rather than create for spectacle, their aim is to **collapse the distance between strangers.** In collaboration with the **[National Arts Club](https://www.nacnyc.org/?utm_source=luma)** and its **[Art and Technology Committee](https://www.nacnyc.org/arts-and-programs/committees?utm_source=luma)**, this conversation will reveal how they use **generative AI, motion capture, 360° cinematography, projection mapping, and volumetric capture** to tell stories that cross lines of culture, ability, and lived experience. From Emmy-winning VR documentaries screened at **Tribeca and Cannes** to experimental AI films created with OpenAI's SORA, Ternasky-Holland and Santiago work where technology stops being a tool and starts becoming a language. They'll discuss their solo projects, their collaborations, and the question at the heart of their practice: **Does technology inspire art, or does art give technology meaning?** Whether you're a creator, technologist, or just curious about where storytelling is headed, this is a rare chance to hear from two artists **shaping the future of how we connect.** Reserve your spot and **arrive early**. Space is limited.
