Beyond Numbers: Looking at the Past to Transform the Future

Imagine a world where sound is not only heard, but also ‘seen’. With this concept in mind, the talk explores innovative frontiers in the convergence of data and new technologies, creating a new dimension in design. Data visualization, spatial interactions, and immersive art are challenging the boundaries of traditional design. By incorporating algorithms and organic design principles, you’ll gain insights into the evolving role of the designer and artist, how it has changed, and how much it will change in the era of AI. Embracing both new and old technologies and tools, such as field recordings, real-time data, and algorithms, this talk highlights the importance of understanding upcoming trends and the synergy between the old and the new.
