Explore the creative potential of artificial intelligence in art and design. This studio examines both generative design methods and how generative media is transforming visual culture, redefining authorship and authenticity in an era of synthetic images. Enter the logic of generative systems and work from the inside out. Push their boundaries, redirect their outputs, and treat AI as a creative material. Through iterative experimentation and critical inquiry, you will develop projects that are visually ambitious and conceptually rigorous. Working with tools such as Stable Diffusion, ControlNet, Gemini, and platforms like Runway or Comfy, you will experiment directly with contemporary generative systems and explore their creative possibilities.

 

No prior AI experience is required, though basic digital literacy is essential, and experience in design or media production is helpful.
