- **Event Description**: An experimental and playful event in the form of an early evening procession &amp; wake where you are encouraged to explore the challenges of AIAbout this EventStills and Photoworks, in collaboration with BRAID (Bridging Responsible AI Divides), and Inspace, will be hosting this experimental and playful event in the form of a funeral procession and an early evening wake where you are encouraged to explore the challenges of AI, and to create and share your eulogies to it. The event marks both the declared end-of-life of Artificial Intelligence and the final month of Stills’ current exhibition Felicity Hammond –  – the final iteration of the artist’s  series, commissioned through the Ampersand/Photoworks fellowship.Felicity Hammond: END OF LIVE SERVICE is a two part event beginning with a procession at Stills (23 Cockburn St, Edinburgh EH1 1BP), inviting participants to convene in the gallery to join this procession and concluding at Inspace for the wake portion of the evening (1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AB).Upon arrival at Inspace, the procession will move through the venue, Felicity Hammond’s full updated service report will be read aloud, whilst the objects are brought in to be placed and displayed in the exhibition space. Ushers will hand out an order of service to all in attendance, outlining the evening.On conclusion of the service report reading and laying down of physical tributes, the celebrant will invite all attended to take refreshments and to meet and connect with each other ahead of sharing memories of AI, in all its rich complexity.The wake will begin with Alex Taylor and Felicity Hammond, with shared reflections on that which is lost with AI (particularly in terms of environment), and perhaps how AI might be reborn in more limited and humanely grounded form. The celebrant will then encourage all participants to take time to reflect on their own memories and experiences of AI, and to write their own eulogies with provided paper and pens. Participants’ eulogies may then be shared with the group through spoken word, through a wall of remembrances, or they may be held personally and taken away with the participants as they reflect on their own relationship to AI.The event will close with the sharing of participant eulogies, including invited reflections and from those who wish to step up on the day. The event will be closed by the celebrant and Felicity Hammond, with thanks given to all. A book of remembrances will also be available at the door as mourners leave, in case they wish to leave further comments.Music accompaniment will take place throughout the event, drawing on the works co-created with AI to mark its own passing. Visual memories of the deceased, from Felicity Hammond’s Variations, will be presented throughout. No flowers are to be sent.Tickets are free and available for the procession or the wake or both (see ticketing below).ProcessionDate: Thurs 29 Jan 2026Time: 16:30-17:00 | Free/TicketedLocation: Stills, 23 Cockburn St, Edinburgh EH1 1BP (please gather in the gallery)Duration: Approx. 30minsEvent organiser/contact: StillsWakeDate: Thurs 29 Jan 2026Time: 17:00-20:00 | Free/TicketedLocation: Inspace, 1 Crichton St, Newington, Edinburgh EH8 9ABDuration: Approx. 120minsEvent organiser/contact: InspaceThis event has limited capacity and so registration is preferred.
