This project environment is the start of an online publication of the 10 objects designed by 10 designers envisioning how things might instantiate in the next decade into a context of digital being mixed with generative AI capabilities.
The exhibition will be part of TH/NGS 2024, 13 December 2024 in Volkshotel Amsterdam, celebrating 10 years of ThingsCon, and will travel to other places in 2025.
Part of this website is the brief for the participating designers and teams. We have officially kicked off the project via a special event in Eindhoven on 23 October. The design brief is based on the reflections of selection of futures designers and thinkers, invited by ThingsCon. You will find the design brief and the reflections on this webspace.
And of course, you will also find the milestones and other practical information about this project.
On 6 December three judges sat together and decided that the 15 valid projects deserved all a place in the exhibition. Some interesting themes emerged from the different projects, that might be a start for the next iterations thinking about generative things.
To inspire your design, we invited experience designers from practice and academia to explore the context of Generative Things. Contributions from Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, Anna Garghetti, Heather Wiltse, Iohanna Nicenboim, Johan Redström, Matt Webb, Simone Rebaudengo
