The ArtOfficial Intelligence series explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, arts, science, and technological applications. What does it mean to teach, create, and adapt in the age of AI? In this dynamic podcast, Olisa Menakaya (Menakaya Academy) and Henrietta Wright (ArtbySatteirneh) engage in a dialogue about reshaping classrooms, and applying high-impact practices. Together, let's explore how artists and educators can collaborate with AI, and not compete against the phenomenon, by bringing awareness to student voice, cultural learning, and creative expression.
💬 Our true “weapon of choice” is discernment: when to create, when to pause, and let the past rest.
In this episode, Olisa (Menakaya (https://www.menakaya.org/medialab/artofficial-intelligence)) and Henrietta (Satteirneh (https://satteirneh.wixsite.com/artbysatteirneh/drawings?pgid=jkhcj1ms-c6ad8a57-2955-4b9b-91e2-1edaf2fa1294)) step into the uncanny space where AI blurs the line between the living and the simulated. They unpack what happens when technology resurrects styles, voices, and even legacies: from AI-generated paintings to digital writing of students’ homework.
Breaking down why imitation isn’t the same as understanding, they address why perfection without process is “death wearing good lighting,” and how classrooms risk becoming museums when reflection is replaced by automation.
Together, they examine the ethics of resurrecting artists, monetizing the dead, and what it means to be curators of conscience in a world moving faster than regulation. Let explore how AI can preserve endangered cultures, save disappearing languages, and serve as a living archive when guided with responsibility.
If you’re ready for a conversation where ethics, creativity, legacy, and AI collide, this episode is the choice to push back and enjoy during the times of imitation.

S2 #17 - Craftwork Orange: Bubbl'in Over
💬 Should we sink to the depth of confusion or float on the bubbles of creativity to the top?
In this episode, hosts Olisa (Menakaya (https://www.menakaya.org/medialab/artofficial-intelligence)) and Henrietta (Satteirneh (https://satteirneh.wixsite.com/artbysatteirneh)) dive into what happens when craft, pressure, and technology all rise to a simmer. Using orange as a metaphor for creative and educational labor, they peel back the layers on what AI often overlooks: the slow work, the hidden heat, and the careful seasoning that give art and teaching their real flavor.
Together, they unpack how AI can speed things up but also turn up the temperature in classrooms and studios, creating a world obsessed with instant “juice” instead of depth, culture, and critical thinking.
Let explore mentorship as temperature control, craft as resistance to speed culture, and why protecting the unseen labor of educators and artists matters more now than ever.
The time is now to taste the difference between sugar water and real juice by understanding what’s really bubbling under the surface in age of AI.

S2 #16 - AI Creepers and Peepers
In this episode, hosts Olisa (Menakaya (https://www.menakaya.org/medialab/artofficial-intelligence)) and Henrietta (Satteirneh (https://satteirneh.wixsite.com/artbysatteirneh)) pull back the digital curtain on surveillance culture in the age of artificial intelligence.
What happens when creativity, teaching, and art become targets of unseen algorithms? From silent classroom proctors to machine-trained art theft, AI Creepers and Peepers explores how observation has shifted from empathy to extraction.
Through candid reflection and poetic dialogue, Olisa and Henrietta examine:
The fine line between being inspired and being exploited
How AI’s “gaze” reshapes classrooms, studios, and cultural spaces
What digital colonialism means for artists and educators
Why reflection is the most radical act of resistance
Technology may be watching but awareness turns the gaze back.
✨ Listen, question, and reclaim your reflection.
