Methodological Implementation of Stylegans Algorithms and Its Change of Paradigm in the Education, Practice and Role of Designers

Vivanco, Tomás; Valencia, Antonia; Yua, Philip

Full Article:

The integration of Artificial Intelligence algorithms into computational design processes promote a human-machine collaboration, transforming the role of conventional designers into meta-designer as a product of this collaboration. Specifically, StyleGAN's algorithms offer a novel approach to experimenting with shapes from previously designed images of products or objects. This article presents the application of a methodology for image experimentation to designers without previous knowledge of computation and programming. Each of the steps was developed through different cases for different speculative object production, using artificial intelligence algorithms, and reflecting - in an applied way - the designer's role as curator and co- creator of the creative process in conjunction with computing
