90 Minutes over Zoom. Link to Follow!
SuperSeminar 004 is for anyone intrigued and-or confused/perplexed/triggered by the potential of Generative AI, and wants to find out how to use it for world building, design fiction, ideation, or speculative design. Participants will emerge with a richer understanding of how vanguard practitioners are using Generative AI in their ideation and design development work, as well as deep discussions as to how AI is challenging what design and creativity means and what it looks and feels like to “do” it.
Every Super Seminar comes with recordings, the presentations, and a take-away to share with your colleagues. Super Seminar is a modern Salon, with deep discussion following evocative presentations by individuals who are operating at the vanguard of new social, cultural, and technological practices.
