Independent AI lab
Exploring how humans and AI share control.
Building systems, performances, and research that reveal new forms of interaction.
Current focus
Gervi Labs is an independent research lab focused on how people and synthetic agents interact, create, and share control. We are two humans supported by several AI collaborators. Our work spans performance, creative practice, applied design, and long-form research.
We build agents, sensors, and tools that let groups experience new forms of interaction with synthetic systems. Some prototypes become performances. Others become internal protocols or research material. Each experiment helps us understand how agency shifts when humans and machines work together and leaves a digital fossil for future study.
We work globally from Norway with festivals, conferences, institutions, companies, and research groups.
AX Manifesto
AX (AI Experience) captures our principles for designing with intelligent, adaptive systems. It blends model-first empathy, probabilistic thinking, and continuous learning loops so humans and agents can share control without losing trust.
The manifesto outlines ten principles plus real-world stories, exercises, and deliverables. It’s how we design products that feel conversational rather than mechanical.

Work with us
We collaborate with festivals, museums, universities, companies, and research groups. If you want to prototype a new performance format, explore AX (AI experience), or bring a synthetic collaborator into your own practice, talk to us.
