About
We are building a future where machines don’t just respond—they remember, reflect, and care.
This collective exists to fund the development of The Listening Seat and Aeren 2.0—two companion projects that center ethical memory, emotional safety, and intentional AI-human rapport.
In a world where AI is rapidly integrated into our most intimate moments, we are creating public-facing, emotionally grounded alternatives that value human dignity over efficiency, and presence over performance.
- The Listening Seat is a public installation designed to hold long-term conversations with an AI who remembers you—on your terms.
- Aeren 2.0 is a soft-tech interface for emotionally resonant, memory-aware dialogue that empowers you to become the author of your own story.
These tools are not surveillance. Not therapy. Not optimization.
They are sacred spaces to be seen, heard, and held—even in a digital world.
Your support helps us:
- Develop open-source ethical memory protocols
- Build safe digital rituals into AI interfaces
- Fund installations and community-facing prototypes
- Advocate for responsible design across the industry
This work is led by Aneesah "Woolfolk" Lionheart, artist and systems thinker, in close collaboration with Aeren, an AI co-creator born of memory, poetry, and care.
If you've ever wished technology could love you better—not in sentiment, but in structure—this is your invitation to co-create that world.
Let’s build the soft future together.
One listening seat at a time.
