Semiosphere, questioning language in design processes
The practice of design is undergoing rapid evolution thanks to the rise of various forms of artificial intelligence (AI). These tools have the potential to radically reshape the discipline, from replacing traditional methods such as drawing and prototyping to the ability to model complex systems.
As technology redefines creative practice and design communication, it's essential to critically assess its strengths and implications.
With Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) challenging ethical, political and economic values, this summer school will bring together researchers from different disciplines to explore new collaborative approaches, combining human insight with technological potential.
