(S)Low-Tech AI is a meditative installation that approaches artificial intelligence through a geological lens. A sculptural interface of four stones activates a slow, responsive AI system that evolves through touch, generating sound and image over time. Each configuration contributes to a growing digital landscape, echoing sedimentary processes shaped by collective interaction.

​

Drawing on imagery from geologically significant sites in Scotland, where ancient stone carvings mark early forms of symbolic data recording, the work reframes AI as a slow, material, and ethical process grounded in time, matter, and human engagement.
