Aimoji, 2019

Part of Design Collection

Using a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) and a dataset consisting of 3145 individual, commonly-used Emoji as input we trained our model for 25 epochs to come up with new ones. Used extensively for the exhibition identity of "Uncanny Values: Artificial Intelligence & You" as part of the VIENNA BIENNALE FOR CHANGE 2019.

Exhibition curated by Marlies Wirth and Paul Feigelfeld.

* Materials required: Personal laptop
* Coffee & tea provided
* Discount for students!

The workshop

Start out with creative coding using an intuitive approach first developed for kids in the 1960s. Learn to create generative drawings using only three basic commands that move a virtual pen, called a turtle, around the canvas.
Revived and brought to modern creative coding platform p5.js, this technique not only allows you to create digital images, but the same code will drive an Axidraw flatbed pen plotter, a drawing machine that uses pens or markers to draw your artwork on paper.

What you will learn

* Learn an intuitive approach to programming
* Start out with creative coding in p5.js and JavaScript
* Create your own generative artworks and print them with
pen on paper
* Get to know the history of early computer art

Cancellation

You can cancel your participation up to 14 days before the workshop for a full refund. The workshop only takes place if a minimum number of 7 participants is reached. In case of cancellation, you'll be notified and will receive a full refund.

A first-of-its-kind augmented reality book from MIT Press Leonardo Series at Penguin Random House

Design, Algorithmic decay by Process .studio
App by DOTDOT Studio

A hybrid digital artistic and literary project in the form of an augmented reality book, the story retells Dante’s Inferno as if it were set in pandemic-ravaged New York City.

Every element of the book is crafted to evoke loss: the stock photographs of NYC with humans wiped away, the lipogrammatic generative text that is missing the letter e. The book’s pages are garbled and can only be deciphered through an accompanying app—but over a period of months, these digital components decay the way memory might, leaving behind foggy imagery and half-remembered bits of language.
