Practice & background

Caleb Leak is a software engineer and the creator of Activities for Humans. His background in graphics, virtual reality and computer vision informs a project that brings his dog Momo into game-making, turning a technical experiment into a playful inquiry into creativity and automation.

The project casts Momo as a corporate founder and humans as the beneficiaries of scheduled activities. This is a deliberately fictional business narrative, supported by software and tools built by Caleb. Her keyboard input passes through AI coding tools and automated feedback to become playable games.

In Who Art You, his proudest moment is an audience connection: a couple spent about an hour trying to improve their score. Asked what he would save, he chooses Momo. The conversation brings technological creativity back to companionship, play and shared pleasure.

Looking at the work

Working games, canine participation and a fictional company invite audiences to consider automation and authorship.
