Your monthly non-spammy-gif-heavy newsletter from your friends at oio.
Hello oio friends, hope this email finds you well, just like the gif at the bottom!
We're all back home from our Barcelona off-site, closing off this year's series of big-brain oio workshops and lectures at some of Europe's best design schools. Meanwhile, we've been cooking up a bunch of projects that we're almost ready to share with the world. While we wait for them to cool off, we thought we'd share some teasers.
(Since it's been a long time, here's an extra-large dose of cool links at the bottom.)
Enjoy ๐

๐๐ชฉ We've just celebrated oio.radio's birthday by bringing it back online! For the newcomers, oio radio is a project that started with the pandemic, where anyone could stream on our platform from anywhere. After being silent for a few years, we decided to bring it back, also thanks to Discord user @rdup, whoโs helping us program the schedule and keeps the vibes running. For now, itโs an online radio with a curated selection, but we have plans to add more content in the future, beyond music.
Type www.oio.radio in your browser, on both desktop and mobile, and vibe with us for a bit.
If you missed it, check out the birthday post on our Instagram.
This year's workshop season just ended, and we've been looking back on all the teaching we've done in the last few years. As the hype over AI overtook the buzz about blocks and chains, we kept our formula for a Machine Learning workshop pretty much the same: 1) here's what machine learning is - 2) here's how to train your own model - 3) let's use the model you've just made for some creative purpose.
Curious to see some results? Have a look at our latest Instagram reel.
A few weeks ago we were in Elisava in Barcelona, running a workshop where students had to create and curate small datasets. We called it โData Foragingโโstudents had to wander around the ramblas, hunting for data.
Find out more here.
We are about to launch something new ๐ and weโll be looking for testers soon! We canโt reveal much just yet, but keep your eyes open on our social media, and most importantly, join our Discord, the first place where we launch our products.
