Abstract: With the rise of powerful and pervasive AI technologies throughout society, a growing community of artists, designers, researchers, and activists have started to promote and pursue alternative ways of thinking about and making technology using community-centred and co-creative practices. This paper investigates how and to what ends these practitioners form part of an emergent community of practice. The research is conducted through a series of expert interviews, investigating how these practitioners translate critical technological scholarship into community-centred praxis, how the affordances of creative practice allow them to operate outside of industry constraints, and how they manifest as a decentralised and unbounded knotwork. In conclusion, the paper argues that these practitioners, working at the intersection of artistic practice, design, and digital technologies, are actively contributing new ways of thinking about and doing technology that can help offset AI's social harms and inform more inclusive approaches to thinking about, and making technology.
