NYU Landmark

This studio explores ways to create distinctions in physical and digital space which alter their nature or intended use through visualization techniques. By using artificial intelligence tools as the means to generate the landmark, the seminar will focus on additive, subtractive and distorted means for creation and representation. Over the semester, the class will develop an understanding of design techniques in the areas of visualization and design concepts through the use of observation, criticism and AI.

Using contemporary and emerging AI toolsets for creating images and video, we will explore aesthetic dimensions while also being exposed to a variety of works and artist practices for creation and expression. This course emphasizes multi-disciplinary approaches to design and process — methods and outputs may range from purely digital solutions to interactive installations, speculative worlds, imagined landscapes, or new languages.
