Simone Rebaudengo is a co-founder and Creative Director at OiO – a creative company on a quest to turn emerging technologies into an approachable, everyday and sustainable reality for humans and beyond.
Previously he designed future scenarios and products for The Museum of the Future in Dubai, exhibited future artefacts in major museums around the world with his collective automato.farm and he was lead designer for future visions at BMW Designworks and frog. He used to collaborate with Usman Haque and Pachube to explore human and machine relationships in the early stages of the Internet of Things.
His works explore the implication of living and collaborating with other, not-so-human, intelligences. He co-designed with an AI a special series of products for Iittala , published a book of fables about more than human futures, created immersive installations about being an appliance with Bruce Sterling and a short movie that won the Most Uncanny award at the Robot Film Festival.
Simone is a faculty member of the Master in Design for Responsible AI at ELISAVA in Barcelona and visiting Lecturer at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID). His projects have been awarded by Red Dot Design Award, Core77, IXDA Awards and exhibited in galleries and museums such as Vitra Design Museum, Triennial Museum in Milan and MAK Vienna.
In this talk, Simone will not share how to make your life easier by using AI, but actually quite the opposite.
Based on the work and research of the past few years with oio, he will share how they’ve been experimenting with Artificial Intelligence, not just as a tool to simplify and streamline processes, but actually as a starting point to design unimaginable products.
