On May 1–3, 2025, "AIxDESIGN Festival: On Slow AI" transformed Loods6, in Amsterdam, into a playground for rethinking AI beyond mainstream tech-driven views. Imagine a cosy space for deconstructing dominant AI stories, dreaming up new ones, and figuring out how to make them real. The 3-day festival was a fever dream of interactive talks, hands-on workshops, a playful art exhibition, and a film screening, bringing together designers, researchers, technologists, and curious minds from all over Europe.
As part of the visual design team, I contributed to the communication and spatial experience through printed materials as storytelling assets. Among them, three AI zines—created as special festival editions—served as collaborative, critical, and slightly chaotic artifacts. Co-authored and designed collectively, the zines challenged the notion of legibility in AI narratives, combining reflections, rituals, diagrams, and aesthetic provocations that mirrored the layered complexity of the topics explored during the event.
Design became a means to slow down, engage the senses, and spark speculation—translating complex ideas into playful, accessible, and human-centered artifacts. Each visual element was intentionally crafted to create coherence across the space, guide visitors through the program, and provoke meaningful engagement with what AI could be—beyond the algorithmic norm. A celebration of design’s power to shift perspectives and make room for new imaginaries.
