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.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.
