LAB RATS X Max Brading: Offline + Local AI use for sceptical artists

Tues

21 Mar

5pm - 8pm

Long-time collaborator of ILA, Max Brading returns to present an artist talk and workshop combined session as part of Lab Rats 2025 Program

In this unique one off workshop offering, Naarm based digital artist Max Brading will discuss methods of utilising open source, free, and offline AI tools using participants own data and creative work.  

 A mix between an artist talk and workshop, Max will share their own journey through AI datasets along with sharing resources, skills and demonstration of how practical use of AI can be used to augment creative workflows.  

 Aimed at the sceptical artist, participants will leave the session with a better understanding of how AI software can be used creatively in their own creative pursuits. 

 


 

Doors Open = 5:00pm

Artist Talk/Workshop = 5:30pm – 7:30pm (approx.)

Close = 8:00pm

REQUIREMENTS: We recommend bringing a laptop, to explore alongside with Max, or at the very least you may like to bring a notepad to take notes.  

 


 

Who is Max Brading? 
 
Max [they/them] is a multidisciplinary artist with a deep interest in the exchanges we make with technology and the relations we form through its mediation// the intersections of technology, environment and the human construct. 
 
Max enjoys unravelling the entangled systems that enclose human experience, remixing and reconfiguring these threads into new forms. 
 

Max’s creative practice is grounded in the experimental use of technology, blending technical knowledge with performance and collaborative exploration.
