Workshop: Talking to Computers & Dreaming with Machines

The first step AI workshop for artists, designers and interested people.

The advancement of artificial intelligence opens up entirely new possibilities and seemingly renders conventional tools obsolete – thus, designers are affected by the technology as much as they benefit from it. But how can we design with AI, where are its limits, and what risks does the technology pose?

Ella Zickerick and Lina Schwarzenberg invite you to get started with AI. Together, we want to explore the potential and challenges of AI, discuss them, and shape them. We will try out various technologies and attempt to engage in a dialogue with our computers, dreaming together with the machines.

Die Entwicklungen künstlicher Intelligenz eröffnen völlig neue Möglichkeiten für Designer*innen und Künstler*innen und machen herkömmliche Werkzeuge scheinbar überflüssig – als Gestalter*innen sind wir von der Technologie also ebenso betroffen wie wir von ihr profitieren. Wie können wir mit KI aktiv umgehen und gestalten, wo liegen ihre Grenzen und welche Risiken birgt sie für unser Feld?

Ella Zickerick und Lina Schwarzenberg laden euch ein, euch aktiv mit KI zu beschäftigen. Gemeinsam wollen wir die Potenziale und Herausforderungen von KI erkunden, diskutieren und gestalten. Wir werden verschiedene Technologien und Tools ausprobieren und versuchen, mit unseren Computern in einen Dialog zu treten und gemeinsam mit den Maschinen zu träumen.
