Concept
Is the field of expertise of designers threatened by the development of artificial
intelligence? Creativity counted as a human domain for centuries. But
nowadays this sovereignty is attacked by the development of algorithmic
designing tools like automated logo generators. The discount designer is
an experiment which explores the creative potential of machines.
Installation
The Discount Designer generates an individual and unique
poster based on a test that the client answers. The test
consists of a set of questions and represents the briefing
with the customer who commissions the machine. The text
is also generated and comes from a data collection of controversial
reddit comments, the whole Urban Dictionary,
Harry Potter and poetry by Oscar Wilde.
