BA MEDIA & INTERACTION DESIGN
Extra – 2020
with Cyril Diagne
A one week workshop with Cyril Diagne where students were asked to question the browser and its use, to change the experience of the web thanks to chrome extensions.
reform responds to a context in which designers are gradually losing control over their tools: creative software is becoming more automated, closed and dependent on cloud-based services. Today, generative AI can produce 3D models with ease, but often at the cost of control, understanding and ownership of the creative process. reform offers another approach: making 3D modelling easier to access, in a field that is usually complex and difficult to learn. The project takes the form of free and open-source software, built around a simplified interface, intuitive interactions and guides that support the learning of these tools. Through demonstrations and didactic exercises, reform restores the designers' motivation and means to model 3D shapes themselves.
