About this Event
Designers and are the creators of , an AI-powered camera that writes poems of what it sees. They saw the opportunity to reimagine familiar physical objects using AI as both a material and a creative partner — and reinvented their design practices in the process.
Hear about their process building Poetry Camera to encourage play, creativity, and human connection — and their vision of the new opportunities for a designer today. They propose an optimistic future, should we choose to accept it: one where AI can empower designers in entrepreneurship, break the pattern of a typical client-designer practice, and help designers take the driver's seat in a quickly-changing world.
