Episode Four – AI, Language and Writing with YPC

In this fourth and final episode, we invited V&A Dundee’s Young People’s Collective, also known as the YPC, to take over its direction. Led by Mike, Evie, Natalia and Leyla, the YPC question the use of an AI generated image as the exhibition’s main identity. They speak with Neil McGuire (graphic designer and co-curator of AFC) about the image, and with author and journalist Emma Grae about the impact of AI on the Scots language. We also hear two creative writing pieces responding by Timika and Hannah-Linda, created in response to the exhibition. These works are the result of the YPC’s residency programme with students from the University of Dundee. Content warning: This episode contains strong language and may not be suitable for all listeners.
