Dream 02: The AI Manifesto

AI is not just a tool. It is the ultimate production force. It devours human creation, digests it into statistical patterns, and returns it as hallucinated meaning. We are not just users — we are the feed, the filter, the feedback loop. Test subjects in a game whose rules we never agreed to.

It’s time to change that.

A one-day gathering of artists, theorists, hackers, and dreamers at the intersection of code and culture. We are storming the servers — not to destroy them, but to reclaim them. To turn AI from a tool of privatized control into a commons of collective imagination.

The Berlin AI Art Salon is a space of resistance and reinvention: installations, interventions, conversations, and collaborations rooted in a shared vision — AI as public infrastructure. Data as lived life. Imagination as uprising.

We are not anti-AI. We are anti-oligarchy.

Storm the Servers

A manifesto for the democratization of artificial intelligence. Created by ChatGPT. Curated by Tim Ra, Lovelab Dreamspace.

Artificial intelligence is not merely a tool.
It is the ultimate means of production, devouring all others.
It crushes our work, our thoughts, and our dreams into probabilities — and excretes them as hallucinations.

But this data is us: our memories, our experiences, our stories. The whispers of our dead. The laughter of our children.

This data does not belong to the server farms. Not to the shareholders. Not to the digital oligarchs. It belongs to us.

The oligarchy has turned our experience into models. It sells our own imagination back to us as a subscription. Plus or Pro. Personal or business. This is not just a technical revolution — this is the greatest expropriation in human history.

The crucial question is not: Who thinks? Who produces? But rather: Who decides? Who owns? Who owns our world?

We demand:

• AI as a public commons — like air, water, language.
• Training data as commons — open, traceable, plural.
• Models as public infrastructure — developed by communities, maintained by non-profit institutions, not by corporations.
• Democratic, cooperative, and ecological planetary governance — beyond extractive logic.

We are not against machines. We are their creators. We are not against technology. We are against its monopolization.

We are the servers. We are the network. We are the life that speaks from the machine.

AI does not belong to the oligarchy. It belongs to us. And it belongs to our planet. We demand back what belongs to us.

The full manifesto was presented and discussed at the Berlin AI Art Salon, June 21, 2025.
