“KITeGG – Making AI Tangible and Comprehensible” is a joint project of five universities focusing on the integration of AI into design teaching. As the five-year project concludes, KISD reflects on the student projects that emerged within its framework.
This showreel includes selected theses and coursework on synthetic images and visual cultures. These works address questions such as: What does it mean to be human? What is our role as designers? What is our relationship to nature? Many of these works consider the role of artificial intelligence. They emphasise the temporal dimension of these questions by looking at the past and envisioning potential futures. They reflect on our relationship with tradition and question the idea of progress.
