Participants will work in small, interdisciplinary teams to explore dynamic scenarios and develop bio-focused prototypes. Through this collaborative process, attendees will gain insights into how nature-inspired design can offer innovative, sustainable solutions. The workshop will culminate with each group presenting their prototypes and sharing the stories of their imagined worlds.

The event aims to push the boundaries of traditional design thinking, integrating natural systems and interdisciplinary approaches to foster creativity and positive impact.

MAInD Expanding Talk — Thomas Knüsel

Mendrisio or Online — SUPSI DACD

Thomas Knüsel (*1984) is a media artist and creative technologist who holds a BA from HSLU DFK and an MA from ZHdK. His artistic practice explores the intersection of technology, materiality, perception, science and art, using various media to create works that oscillate often between art and technology.

Their talk will delve into how machine vision algorithms enable computers to ‘see’ the world. The two artistic works 'Throwback Environment' and 'Fomes Fomentarius Digitalis' use the 'perception' of machine vision in different ways.  In this talk, we will immerse ourselves into these two works and see what they can tell us about how algorithms work.
