The AI CLI space has expanded quickly. Claude Code from Anthropic brings conversational coding assistance to the terminal, Codex CLI handles code generation and agentic tasks from the command line. Most open claw setups start with a single command. If you're looking for an open-source AI assistant that runs locally, OpenClaw is one of the more capable options out there — it supports multiple model backends and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring a cloud account. The open source AI coding space has matured quickly. OpenCode gives you a terminal-native agent that works with any model backend, and GitHub Copilot CLI brings AI suggestions directly into your shell if you prefer a managed service. If you work primarily from the terminal, Antigravity CLI is worth a look — it brings Google's Gemini models directly into your shell for code generation, refactoring, and debugging without leaving the command line.
Augmented Reality and Public Space Artist Collective
The MIT Open Documentary Lab’s AR and Public Space Artist Collective is engaging in an ongoing inquiry using artistic research methodologies to explore how digital augmentation can reshape our understanding of place and build bridges between people and communities.
The collective is part of a working group, comprised of lab fellows and alum, that is committed to social and spatial justice and researches how augmenting and connecting local environments with stories, information, and technology changes our relationship to place and to each other.
Watch a conversation with an interdisciplinary group of artists, scholars, and civic leaders including artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, cultural strategist Shey Rivera Ríos, planner and futurist Lafayette Cruise, and filmmaker Carla Bishop will discuss the potentials and challenges of augmenting places within communities and with stories to build bridges and bring people together. What policies, strategies, and environments are needed to make them work? Moderated by civic media scholar Benjamin Stokes
Watch a conversation with an interdisciplinary group of pioneering artists including Jackson 2bears, Halsey Burgund, Glenn Cantave, and Tamiko Thiel will discuss the aesthetics, audiences and ethics of working with and within communities to augment public spaces and places with new meanings, stories, and voices. Moderated by ODL director Sarah Wolozin.
