CASE STUDY
The Black Box
Role
- Designer
Tools
- Indesign and Photoshop
Communicating the implications of AI development on human society and culture as a provocation to imagine a different future.
BRIEF
We were asked to choose an "-ism" and communicate that concept with images, type and text through a book and poster.
OVERVIEW
I choose tropism and reframed its original application within a socio-cultural context while retaining its original significance of adjusting to an external stimuli. My principal concern was the metaphor of the black box that represents opaque automated systems.
I divided the book into three sections:
- The origins of the black box metaphor
- Black box systems applied to art, design and technology
- Strategies for responding to a world dominated by AI
