THE CLIMATE CHAOS CRUISE

A Crip-Queer Speculative Voyage through Participatory AI and Performance Art

Abstract

This paper introduces the Climate Chaos Cruise as a methodology, a metaphor, a research vessel, and a provocation. It describes what the Cruise is: a crip-queer speculative performance project that uses participatory AI as both subject and instrument of investigation. It describes what the Cruise will do: move through the institutional and infrastructural landscape of AI deployment in conditions of compounding crisis, making legible what that landscape cannot see. This paper begins to map the vessel's crip-queer perspective is the research function. What the mean cannot read, the particular can navigate.
