An experimental typography project that utilizes artificial intelligence as a tool in typography design. ‘Project Xenos’ explores the symbiotic relationship between humans and machines throughout the creative design process. Currently, A.I. is seen as a peculiar smart entity threatening to take over the artist’s role. However, in this project, the artist takes an interest in this foreign figure and seeks to understand the A.I. model and machine learning. This initiative sets the stepping stone of a symbiotic Artist x A.I. relationship. The resulting hybrid reflects the voice and thoughts of the artist. Through this collaborative journey, Project Xenos aims to break the fears of A.I. and invite creatives to learn how to embrace the new technology by slowly incorporating it into our creative practice.
