Dedren Snead, the boss of Subsume Studios in Atlanta, is looking to make an impact on how video games and artificial intelligence affects the Black community. Snead is an artist, developer, creative consultant, and futurist with a list of amazing accomplishments. He is currently an Innovator-in-Residence at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill through its Shuford Entrepreneurship Program, and an artist-in-residence at Georgia State University’s Creative Media Industries Institute.
Snead has created an award-nominated fantasy comic series, Sorghum & Spear, and is working with students at Georgia State University and Spelman to create a technology salon in Underground Atlanta. His goal is to bring more diversity into the world of gaming and AI.
Snead's most recent project is an educational technology platform that connects K-12 students to career pathways in creative and technical careers, as well as graphic novel and gaming creations. He will showcase this project at Dragon Con in Atlanta on Labor Day weekend.
Snead told WSB-TV that he wants to unlock the unlimited potential of Atlanta to be the innovator of the culture of tomorrow. He wants the youth, children in K-12, and those young at heart to find a space to be part of this. Subsume Summit is a series of virtual and hybrid pieces that center around speculative fiction and the subsection of Afrofuturism within the genre of speculative fiction in comic books, games, film, and art.
Snead is definitely making a name for himself in the video game and AI space for Black people. He is a true innovator and is bringing more diversity to the table. His project at Dragon Con promises to be a fun and educational experience for all.
