Session Description:
This survey of AI, Computation, Fabrication, Information (Data) & Robotics – Speculating on future trends of built form – looking at how research practice and experimentation come together to blur the lines between the creative imagination and the real. An Aesthetic Challenge to existing formal languages of material form – redefining New Mediated Architectures. While humans have built environments inspired by nature, what new research practices have contributed to extending the potential of A.I. & Robotics – imagining new ways of thinking from physical to virtualized paradigms as well as mixed paradigms. Information is intertwined with our states of humanity. We ask our community of artists, scientists and researchers to share visions as “proposals” for a better world by revealing their research as a paradigm shift engaging current technologies. This session will explore the conceptual implications of the potentiality of new visions for change in contemporary research practice combining the Arts, Design, and Sciences in A.I., (AR/VR/XR/Real) Worlds & Verses, Robotics, and Speculative Design/Arts Futures.
