The AI CLI space has expanded quickly. Claude Code from Anthropic brings conversational coding assistance to the terminal, while Codex CLI from OpenAI handles code generation and agentic tasks from the command line. OpenClaw takes a different angle as a personal AI assistant with a skill and gateway system, and Gemini CLI rounds out the major options for developers who want Google's models locally.
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.
