“Designing the Computational Image, Imagining Computational Design” is an exhibition that excavates the foundation of computer-aided design and manufacturing and weaves together several ‘origin stories’ for contemporary consideration. The show recently closed after a seven-week run at the Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, and CAN was fortunate enough to get a guided tour with curator Daniel Cardoso Llach as it was winding down.

A project by Design I/O for TIFF Kids International Film Festival’s interactive playground digiPlaySpace, Mimic brings a UR5 robotic arm to life and imbues it with personality.

Created by Christine Brovkina at the University of Bremen, I!&3_OCR is a typography project exploring human-only legibility. It comprises a series of typographic experiments with OpenType and Variable Fonts technologies, which are only readable by humans, and any attempt to recognise a text set in this typeface using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tools will produce incorrect results.

“Sorn-Lai” is an immersive narrative set in a post-singularity world where biology and technology merge. In the White Forest, life fuses with AI and biotech. Through a researcher’s journey, it explores ethical and sustainable implications of our technological advancements, urging reflection on our relationship with technology and nature in the Anthropocene.

Developed in the context of Human 2 Objects project, the main concept was to reflect the human capacity to transform natural elements and to use the human body and its spatiality as an input for interactivity. As a result, the exhibition Controlled Uncontrollables is composed of two sculptural installations in a delicate interplay of art and technology.
