Final Design Studio 2

MSc Digital and Interaction Design

Explore how students combine more-than-human design and speculative AI prototyping in this innovative interaction design studio.

In this studio, students experiment with more-than-human design, applying decentering techniques to invite other life forms and intelligence into the design process — including plants, fungi, bacteria, and artificial intelligence.

The course offers design students a more-than-human toolbox to think critically, imagine otherwise, and act responsibly, redefining the purpose of interaction design in an interconnected world.

Pedagogical structure:

Block 1 Image
Block 1:

Students learn to decenter themselves and embrace the perspective of more-than-human bodies, imagining interactions that transcend the human-centric lens.

Block 2 Image
Block 2:

Students harness the power of AI to bring their more-than-human bodies to life, using technology to co-speculate regenerative ecologies where humans and nonhumans can survive and thrive together.

Block 3:

Students transform their speculative concepts into engaging interactive narratives, inviting us to interact with their future visions in visceral and imaginative ways.
