Workshop Event Details
Workshop #1 by Hypersketch - Playful and Wrong: The Surprising Way to Retain Human Authorship When Using AI for Design
Time: 12:15 PM – 1:15 PM (60 mins)
Venue: *SCAPE, Commune
Description: Using Hypersketch as a visual, iterative way of working with generative AI, participants will experience how provocation, play and deliberate wrong turns can lead beyond AI’s most obvious answers.
Workshop #2 by LottieFiles - Motion and AI
Time: 3:45 PM – 4:45 PM (60 mins)
Venue: *SCAPE, Commune
Description: Motion is becoming a core part of how products communicate, and AI is changing who makes it and how fast. In this workshop we'll map the landscape where motion and AI meet, look at how companies are using motion as a system rather than decoration, and share where LottieFiles is heading: open, editable animation that designers, developers, and AI can all work with.
