MATERIAL- PLAYGROUND
In this workshop you are invited on a innovative exploration at the intersection of generative AI, augmented reality, and sustainable design. In this cutting-edge workshop, you will create unique, intricate digital material textures by using creative tools like generative AI and superimpose these designs onto any surface using augmented reality (AR).
By taking advantage of the infinite resources of the digital world, GEMINI Laboratory empowers creators to reimagine, redesign, and revitalize the environment without increasing our ecological footprint.
