digital ceramics, 2024 - 2025.

A pot is a collaboration with ceramicist Anna Andersen exploring generative AI as a design tool in ceramic practice. We're interested in whether AI can enhance our creative work without undermining the hands-on, material qualities that define ceramics. Our process positions AI as a creative support tool, not a replacement for human craftsmanship. In the studio, we generate and evaluate hundreds of AI outputs, selecting forms with creative potential. Each AI-generated sketch (3D model) becomes a starting point that we alter, remix, and interpret through our design sensibilities and understanding of clay; we then translate digital to physical through clay 3D printing and hand sculpting. A pot tests how emerging technologies might expand creative possibilities within traditional art and craft practices centered on tactility, intuition, and human expression.

A pot has recieved development support from Nationalbankens Jubilaeumsfond.
