Future Frames is curated by Alireza Vaziri and Jonathan David Martin. Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the landscape of design and visual communication—reshaping how we generate ideas, solve problems, and tell stories. From generative tools that produce imagery and text to algorithms that inform aesthetics, designers are increasingly engaging AI not just as a tool, but as an agent. This evolving relationship challenges traditional notions of creativity and critical thinking while opening new pathways for experimentation, expression, and discourse. As we navigate this intersection, design becomes a vital space for questioning, imagining, and shaping the future of human-machine collaboration. As part of the University of Maryland’s Arts for All initiative, Future Frames is a curated exhibition that showcases posters and short videos addressing social, cultural, and environmental issues/resolutions related to the growing presence of AI in our lives.
Artist talk: October 20, 4pm | ASY 2322 - Design Studio
Eric Milliken, an award-winning pioneer in AI and interactive media and assistant professor at UMBC, will share insights from his decades of creative work at the intersection of art and technology. Using techniques like video projection mapping, artificial intelligence, creative coding, biological art, robotics, multichannel sound and augmented and virtual reality, Milliken investigates and experiments with the often invisible ways technology can shape humanity.
