ITERATION 4.0


It's that time again!

We look back on five years of Code & Context – the interdisciplinary bachelor's program at the intersection of computer science, design, and entrepreneurship! With the goal of responsibly shaping and critically questioning digital futures.

Visit us at Schanzenstraße 22, Köln Mülheim, join us for exciting lectures and workshops, code, and celebrate with us!

In our exhibition, we present projects from the entire last semester, theses, as well as startups that were founded here during or after the studies.

Follow the ITERATION and the preparations for it on Instagram.

Workshop 3: CLOUDS ARE NOT AN OPTION

| by Conrad Weise & Kjell Wistoff

  • Infos

    The workshop CLOUDS ARE NOT AN OPTION will contextualise recent AI systems according to their scale and within their vast infrastructure in that current developments in large language models manifest two main characteristics: as big as possible -- and as open as necessary. The objective of this workshop is to examine approaches that utilise local computation to run these systems. Together we aim to provide a brief understanding of the internal mechanisms of large language models, their underlying structures, datasets and the implications of the corresponding user interfaces. The outcome of this workshop will be a collective performance, that will utilise chain reactions and feedback to create a closed loop, similar to a Rube Goldberg machine.
    Requirements:
    - Bring your own computer
    - No prior knowledge or programming skills are required

    NO SIGNUP NEEDED
