wrote up some thoughts on how our interfaces are getting flatter, and how we might design with 💃 our bodies 🤸 in mind.

As we gawk at the $250M Musk spent elect Trump, take a guess how long it took him to “earn” it back in the market?

It took just 15 minutes. I'm not kidding... 15 minutes. According to Bloomberg, his net worth soared by $8B just today.

That’s billionaire math for you—and it’s all of our problem.

Jessy Wellmer🔥: "Das Papier ist entstanden in Kriegssprache. Ist das professionell? D-Day, die Befreiung Europas vom Nationalsozialismus, mit 10.000en Toten?"
C. Lindner: "Das ist natürlich stilistisch nicht überzeugend."

True to our experimental approach, we use LLMs in a web2print pipeline to create semantic crosslinks between articles - a feature reflected in the publication's graphic design. Generate your own custom collection online. Volume 2 is in development.

Beyond simply consuming AI tools, we're exploring approaches guided by art and design values - including critical reflection on when not to use AI. Volume 1 of 3 shares experiences from our labs, teaching formats, and bi-annual conferences. Selected articles available in English.

'un/learn ai': First we need to unlearn AI hype. Five art & design schools are building infrastructure for critical experimentation, moving beyond commercial services to shape creative practice.

Today the symposium continues with Tobias Revell, who's blog and work I have been following for years! Great talk, thank you!

Looking forward to an intense day and visits around DDW in the evening and tomorrow morning, let me know if you are in Eindhoven as well!

Yesterday I gave a short talk about our research project @gestaltungai.bsky.social on the integration of AI in design education at the Design and AI Symposium at TU/e, wonderful session hosted by Stephan Wensveen with great talks by Janet Huang and Dave Murray-Rust and a really dedicated audience!

Das ist wirklich die absurdeste akademische Stellenausschreibung, die ich je gesehen habe. Fünf Monate, um einen Antrag für eine eigene Stelle zu schreiben - und was passiert nach den fünf Monaten? Dieses System ist komplett kaputt
