This can serve as a valuable source of motivation and encouragement for college students. EarlyWords can be a valuable addition to a student’s daily routine, helping to clear the mind, establish a regular habit, and promote self-discovery, personal growth, and connection with others.

Audience Empowerment in an Age of Pandemic

Doctor Who FanFic made with AI Assistance

The following stories were created using the AI tool Chat GPT. Donna and the Bubbles was the result of only two prompts. Claudia was live-streaming experiments with the AI and the audience requested she create a story with Doctor Who. She asked them for a companion and a noun. They chose Donna and the bubbles on her screen saver. The Star Trek Doctor Who crossover fanfic is pure first draft and reads more like an outline or treatment than a short story. It’s still a fun read and resembles some of the stories you might find on Archive of Our Own (AO3) the fanfic archive. The Chat GPT was only trained on a limited number of “main characters” so we had to train them on Bill Potts, Nardol and others. It also didn’t really understand the relationships between characters so we ended up entering in a lot of prompts to find results. Claudia edited stories from the results of multiple prompts. The results are 10 stories that are fun to read and were quite a lot of fun to create.

The Yoda Crossover Collection

15 Short Stories featuring Yoda and other well known characters from across many worlds. The stories were created with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence. The art work was created with Midjourney, Dream Woomba, and Dall-e. These stories are the products of exercises we did for educational and skill-building purposes. We share them for free and fun. They do represent hours of labor and aesthetic choices. If you’d like to enjoy projects like these in the future please feel free to support our practice at any level you wish. –Claudia Alick

What is OBS

Calling up Justice is a big proponent of open source software and OBS specifically. Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) is a free and open-source software for video recording and live streaming. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. OBS allows users to capture video and audio from various sources, including webcam, desktop screen, game screen, and external devices such as microphone and camera. The captured content can then be mixed, edited, and streamed live to platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, and more. Below we will share a simple definition of the software and give you access to the free training we provided.

AI about our transmedia practice

This essay was the FIRST result from Chat-GPT prompt “tell me about the transmedia practice Calling up Justice” It as so accurate! Our mission statement is “producing transmedia performances of justice on-stage, online, and in real life”. This was as short as we could produce after many prompt permutations “Our mission is to use the power of hybrid digital art and storytelling to promote social justice and inspire action, engaging audiences in a multi-layered experience that explores the intersection of race, gender, disability, and social justice issues, and inspires individuals and communities to take action towards creating a more just and equitable world.” We prefer our efficient poetry but that’s pretty good!
