OUR RESPECTABLE CREATIVE NON-HUMAN PARTNER IN TEXTILE - EMBRACING AI SURPRISES

PEI-YING LIN

Abstract
For designers and craftsman, working with materials is requires listening and collaborating to the material. Materials have their own agency, and so does machines. With development of emerging generative AI, this research questions what if we bring together materials, machine, AI, and human for creative collaboration? What are the ways to unpack the complexity of such collaboration and how new design methodologies would emerge through such assemblage?
