Uncanny Type

Day 1, 23.10. - Introduction to working with generative AI

During the first day we will give a general overview of type design and working with generative AI, especially text-to-image models. You will then start working and experimenting with small tools and workflows to get a better understanding of generative AI. Finally, we will prepare for the big experimental phase on the second day.
 We will meet on day 1 (23.10.24) from 14:00 - 18:00.

Day 2, 24.10 - Experiment, experiment, experiment

The second day is all about experimenting. You will get to know all the tools we have prepared for you. You will work with them, try to break them and hack them. With the aim of creating unique typefaces that suit your ideas and style. It will be an open atmosphere for everyone to work at their own pace and style. In the second half of the day we will slowly start to collect your results in type specimens that you have designed. We will meet on day 2 (24.10.24) from 10:00 - 18:00. Lunch included.

Day 3, 25.10 - Presenting your typefaces

The third day will be about finalising your type specimens and printing them on a risograph printer. These will then be set up for an exhibition in the afternoon at Onomatopee, surrounded by other programme items. You will also receive a type specimen to take home. We will meet on day 3 (25.10.24) from 10:00 - 14:00. Feel free to stay longer for the exhibition! :) ---- Space is limited, so you will need to register.
