Design, art, research
Our three-year initiative produces creative outputs in fields related to design, especially including a physical component. The initiative curates, funds, and coordinates projects, which aim for relevant public presentation accompanied by research outputs.
Creativity requires novelty, as well as approriateness or value. Physical world constraints and requirements, and humans operating there, may pose different fitness criteria for creative output than that expected from immaterial creative outputs. Many designers operate where material and digital meet. As Aalto ARTS has been in the forefront combining digital and physical into creative solutions, the potential of AI to human creativity is a field we want to inquire with practice-led approach.
