Design Fiction of Sonic Possible World with Generative AI  Project proposal:

1. 5/15 each team presents a proposal

2. related artifact, portfolios

3. available generative AI tools, and imaginative future AI tools

4. Narratives with time and possible worlds 

expected final project requirements:

1. A set of design fiction artifacts (props, documents, trans-media narratives)

2. Design fiction that present possible world with audio-related topics (sonic artifacts)

Final Due date: June 5, 2023

week 10. material speculation

1. Students present AI generated Neuromancer-entangled Taipei Scenes
  (1) identify the possible scenes, scenarios, (quotes) in the Neuromancer fiction
  (2) apply qualities of speculative aesthetics to the scene with proper prompts
  (3) generate and choose the scene
  (4) name it and cite the texts in the book

other Neuromancer related objects and scenarios:

William Gibson's Neuromancer: Concept Art

2. Paper reading: Material Speculation (AA'15)
3. Rung-Huei Liang. 2013. Pragmatist Poetics in Interaction Design. (IASDR 2013)

"Bachelard sets material imagination apart from formal imagination [2]. Rather than being conceived intellectually in formal imagination, material imagination is an idea that comes from contact with nature material, such as water and fire." p. 2524

Questions:

  1. What are counterfactual artifacts?

       (containing an 'if'- clause that is contrary to fact)

      nonfunctional prototypes, storytelling props, fictional objects

  2. What is Possible World Theory?
  3. What is pragmatist speculation?
  4. What is formal speculation v.s. material speculation?

Final Project:

Design Fiction with AI 

week 9. design fiction (revisiting Neuromancer)

1. students present images of Neuromancer chap1, 2
2. What is Design Fiction?
    What is Prop?
    What is Diegetic Prototype?

Real-Fictional Entanglements: Using Science Fiction and Design Fiction to Interrogate Sensing Technologies (Biosense Berkeley)

Discussion:
1. What are the differences between Design Fiction and Speculative Design?
    (clear fiction v.s. techno-poetic speculation)
2. Aesthetics of speculation: What if an an everyday object is a diegetic prototype of another possible world?


How about science fiction?
