AI-Generated Self-Portraits

Advanced pattern-recognition systems are increasingly penetrating all areas of life. Thus, design tools are also being increasingly fuelled by AI algorithms, thereby changing the role of designers. Automation thus achieves cognitive tasks that were previously carried out by humans and now also makes design decisions independently in the context of design.

In this module of the Komplexpraktikum, the students learned to use such an AI-based face generator. The task was to use these systems to generate portraits that should look as similar as possible to the students themselves. In doing so, the course conveyed an understanding of the aesthetic potential of AI-based design tools and also sharpened the critical attitude towards the promises of so-called artificial intelligence.
