My work with AI led me to question who feels able to participate in emerging creative technologies, and what forms of knowledge are needed to engage with them. I co-authored this book to make generative AI more approachable across disciplines, framing Midjourney not simply as a tool, but as a creative medium for experimentation and critical reflection.
