What does it mean to involve an AI team member within a design research project? Aditi Surana Youngsil Lee Yuxi and Pame using MidJourney, ChatGPT and Tulip to create speculative personas and narratives for Care Futures DCODE Network

MidJourney trolling of DCODE Network Prototeam workshop: 14 PhD students and 15 academics and 5 industry partners standing and discussing data and design landscapes around 4 large tables in a large white studio in Sweden

Good to see that the DCODE Network diversity of a design research network is more complex that MidJourney might propose

Sonic erotic as power. Listening and validating orgasms across the city Grace L Turtle Irina Shklovski Dave Murray-Rust and team defending and creating vibrancy, victory and vitality of the bio-city DCODE Network

The crisis facing law lies in Hayek’s assertion that decisions of a Government “must not be affected by any special knowledge possessed by the Government… and the particular values it attaches to different concrete aims” - precisely the thing that AI is designed to do DCODE Network

Code offers a diffraction alongside language and data to any ‘legal intent’ Markus Naarttijärvi on the difference between indeterminacy of legal intent through language that is contingent to social/cultural circumstances, compared to code that operates as deterministic DCODE Network

What a fantastic summer school! Great to see how we learn to stay with the trouble and grow ✨ #becoming DCODE Network

Brilliant act of resistance! Grace L Turtle #queeringAI

🔥Regulate us, but not really I've just left an in-person event with Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever (OpenAI's CEO & Chief Scientist) at Tel Aviv University, and these were my impressions:

These three days, many DCODE PhD fellows will grace the 10th Nordes conference . We will reflect on how we are creating spaces to rethink design in the digital transformation of the society with an exploratory paper and 7 doctoral consortium presentations. nordes2023.org

Tools to critically reflect on how to use speculative design methods Enrique Encinas presenting this paper Nordes conference dl.designresearchsociety.org/nordes/nordes2… Includes a bunch of really useful tension-patterns relating to how to use speculative design in teaching contexts

Destabilizing human-nonhuman binaries does not intrinsically lends itself to justice and equitable coexistence. Other ways of knowing and relating across species need to be understood within the context of colonial and extractive histories 👉 read.dukeupress.edu/cultural-polit…
