Plastic Fantasies 2: AI-Crafted Designer Designer Toys
2024-2025 Fall

The “Plastic Fantasies” series returns, adding a new dimension to the narrative of design evolving with AI. The second exhibition of this series presents a new layer of reality through AR, making the boundaries between the physical and digital universes even more permeable and inviting you to see the invisible.

“Plastic Fantasies” exemplifies the redefinition of the role of the designer as a curator, with the involvement of generative AI in the design process as a co-creator in human-AI collaboration. In this symbiotic relationship between design and technology, the productivity and speed of AI and the essence of human creativity are transformed into a harmonious and dynamic interaction that is further enriched by the AR experience. “Plastic” evokes not only the malleability and versatility of synthetic materials, but also their capacity to adapt, transform and recreate; while “fantasy” represents a new narrative universe where the physical and digital worlds are integrated through AR, bridging the imaginable and the unimaginable.

In our exhibition, fantastic universes and characters born with the co-creation of AI are presented both physically with 3D printing technology and digitally in AR. We invite you to step into these physical and digital universes, discover the characters, and get involved in their stories.

Welcome to our “Plastic Fantasies 2: AI-Crafted Designer Toys” exhibition.
