Turning AI into art


Jenny Sabin is an American architect, educator, and researcher whose work centers on design and emerging technologies, and bridges the gap between science, art and architecture. Her latest project is called Ada, an astonishing AI-driven structure designed in honor of one of the first computer programmers, Ada Lovelace. It is made of fabric digitally knit with photoluminescent yarn, 895 3D printed nodes, 1,274 fiberglass rods, and weighs about 1,800 pounds. Ada is currently on view at Microsoft's corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

Jenny was awarded the prestigious Architectural League Prize in 2014. Her work has been exhibited internationally including at the FRAC Centre, Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, and as part of Imprimer Le Monde at the Pompidou.
