Querying and running learned systems. An investigation into what becomes possible when a model can be addressed.

Chris Hay.
A life in questions.
A house for
ideas, systems
and objects.
Chris Hay explores how intelligent systems are represented, executed, understood and experienced.
Building things to find out how they work.
Research, engineering, design and film form one practice. Software gives an idea something to run on. The notebook keeps the thinking as it develops. Film becomes another way to explore it.
London.
CHRIS HAY / THE PRACTICE
Thought about.
Given structure.
Made real.
An idea takes shape. A system gives it structure. An object brings it into the world.
Ideas ↗
Questions, research and the notebook. A place for thinking before the answer.
Systems ↗
Models, software, design languages and infrastructure. Giving an idea a structure that can be explored.
Objects ↗
What is made: software, interfaces, films and publications. An idea takes a form that can be used, watched or held.
Exploring how a model is represented, and how that representation relates to its execution.
FOLLOW THE WORK ↗A language for how intelligent systems express themselves: claims, evidence, questions, comparisons and refusals.
FOLLOW THE WORK ↗Tools for connecting agents, models and the systems they use.
FOLLOW THE WORK ↗HOW THE WORK IS PUBLISHED
Research ↗
The questions, the evidence and the boundary of what has been shown.
Notebook ↗
The record before the answer. Thoughts, sketches and questions while they are still taking shape.
Film ↗
Another medium for thinking. Experiments, explanations and conversations in public.
Publish the uncertainty as well as the result.
Open questions remain open. A result earns its status through evidence. Revisions keep their earlier records, including the ideas that did not hold up.
BEYOND THE HOUSE / CONVERSATIONS & APPEARANCES
Chris is a regular panelist on IBM’s Mixture of Experts. Those conversations belong in this record with their original production credits and sources.
