Alexia ACHILLEOS

Participating Project	International Creator Residency Program (Theme Projects)
Activity Base	Limassol, Cyprus
City / Place stayed	Tokyo
Period	2025.5 - 2025.7

Purpose of the residency

During her time at TOKAS, Achilleos will engage with local communities to explore the future of AI from a situated, local perspective. Shifting her focus from Cyprus (an island on the periphery of the global AI race) to Tokyo (a city often featured in Hollywood’s techno-orientalist narratives) the residency will examine local realities in contrast to tech companies’ visions of AI’s and humanity’s future. Through participatory artist games and workshops, she will engage with the local community to explore AI’s impact on a local level. The goal is to foster dialogue, collaboration and critical examinations of our shared futures.

Plan during the residency

• Research local narratives about AI and the future through literature, visits and conversations. 
• Develop a collaborative artist game/participatory workshop that examines local AI mythologies.
• Hold workshops/game sessions with the local community, to examine humanity’s and AI’s future from a local perspective, in a collaborative manner.
• Based on the workshops, begin mapping AI mythologies and realities from a local perspective.
