AI Design Workshop

AI Design Workshop is a two-week intensive that treats generative systems as a new design material rather than a productivity shortcut. Participants come from a range of backgrounds — graphic design, product design, writing, research — and spend the first week building shared vocabulary through readings, demos, and rapid prompt-based exercises. We work hands-on with image, text, and code models, examining what each medium privileges and where each one breaks. The second week is project-based: each participant develops a small artifact — a publication, an interface, a tool, a performance — that could not exist without generative collaboration but is grounded in a clear authorial position. Critique sessions are held daily and emphasize the ethical, labor, and authorship questions that generative tools raise for our field. Outside speakers, including artists and researchers working at the edges of the technology, join us for evening conversations. The workshop is deliberately small to allow for close mentorship. Participants leave with a working prototype, a personal manifesto of two to three pages, and a clearer sense of how they want to relate to generative tools in their ongoing practice — whether that is enthusiastic adoption, careful selective use, or considered refusal.
