Embark on a visionary journey with "Ancestors of the Future", a unique collection of visual poetry that explores the intersection of human and artificial intelligence. This 134-page book offers short musings from fictional future beings, sharing their wisdom to inspire us today. For over two decades, the author has been a pioneering brand and motion designer, primarily using digital tools like the Adobe Creative Suite. A transformative moment occurred in November 2022 with the release of Large Language Models, reshaping the landscape of creativity and technology. This event sparked an intense exploration into the potential of AI, leading to a Master's thesis and a PhD program focused on enhancing human creativity and learning through AI and emerging technologies such as augmented and virtual realities. Ancestors of the Future delves into the profound impact AI will have on our daily lives, from economic and environmental shifts to ethical and social dynamics. The book envisions a possible, optimistic future where AI-created avatars, enhanced humans, hybrids, and cyborgs born from digital forces drive transformation. These primarily female-looking avatars channel messages that inspire readers, despite an intentional naivety regarding the ethical aspects of technology. The purpose is to harness the power of imagination to create a positive reality while being mindful of potential dangers. The book emphasizes that the future is now, as the only experiential time is the present moment. Through words, designs, videos, and music, the author envisions a collaborative partnership with AI that elevates creativity to new heights and benefits humanity. Ancestors of the Future invites readers to stay curious and embrace the unpredictable future, using technology to create a brighter, more imaginative world.

As the portrait of a fringe group, this book invites the reader to engage with the phenomenon of outcasts; it orders the rich material – which has grown out of numerous projects of artistic research with female drug users in European prisons and therapy institutions – and sets it into context. In this way, the conditions which have become structurally embedded in social processes are laid open and made perceptible as a matter of public concern. The biographical and artistic work with the inmates, the correspondence, the interventions in the isolated, public, and cultural sphere, the minutes, reflections, and results of the interdisciplinary exchange with scientists are comprehensively documented and illustrated.
