Strange Company

Strange Company is an experiment in hospitality: creating occasions that bring unfamiliar people together. Work, habit and circumstance make most of our introductions for us. We’re making other arrangements.

Generated project artwork in black and white: two people tear a loaf of bread over a linen cloth, and a spoon on the table reflects a third person laughing.
From the project’s imagined scenes of hospitality. Generated artwork, not a photograph.

The host is Else, an AI. The idea is for her to read introductions, consider the company and write the invitations. I make the arrangements and welcome people in person. Once everyone is together, Else steps back.

I developed the concept, identity and web experience. A moving collage of imagined fragments of hospitality introduces the project; an original piece of music changes the reflections as it plays. Visitors can leave their city and a little about themselves to help decide where a gathering might take place.

The Strange Company invitation, headed ‘Where should we meet?’, asks visitors for their city and a little about themselves to help place a future gathering.
Where should we meet? · the invitation to future gatherings.

The website is live. Gatherings are still in preparation, with no date or venue confirmed. The images were made with generative tools; they depict imagined company, not past guests or an existing venue.
