87011 VC Project: Visual Communication and Emergent Practices

Description

This subject introduces emerging areas of social and technological change in visual communication design practice. Students investigate issues and opportunities at the intersection of design practices and the creative technologies of machine learning and generative AI. The use of these technologies requires interrogation of the role and responsibilities of the visual communication designer in contemporary Australia. By engaging with current literature, including Indigenous scholarship, and undertaking creative experiments, students challenge dominant anthropocentric views and develop a design approach for diverse worldviews.
