FUTURE FRAMES

| Dasha Wagner

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. As part of the University of Maryland’s Arts for All initiative, this exhibition celebrates interdisciplinary collaboration, community engagement, and the creative possibilities of human-machine partnerships. My poster project has been selected as one of the finalists for the show.

A Taste of the Future

Presented at the University of Maryland, my poster series explores what grocery marketing campaigns may look like in the near future.

People have concerns about food safety because of bioengineered produce, pesticides, and artificial food wax. AI technology could help reduce these risks and improve safety throughout the supply chain. It can also help food scientists create new products by analyzing large amounts of data on consumer preferences and ingredient combinations.

However, using opaque and unaccountable AI algorithms in food production can erode consumer trust in the food system. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables have raised questions about creating new allergens. Will the food we eat become more toxic and harmful?

Bringing Together Human Creativity & AI Power

| Dasha Wagner

Could AI-generated images revolutionize the retail packaging industry? I experimented with Adobe Firefly to see if AI could generate realistic and relevant images from text-based prompts. As you can see, implementing AI into the packaging design workflow can be very successful. However, it’s important to maintain a balance between creativity and brand identity.

Despite mixed feelings among professionals about the use of AI technologies in product development, we should always remember that artificial intelligence can’t replace human imagination. Therefore, graphic designers should be able to combine AI-generated inspiration with their own expertise and creativity to design a final product. I think the most effective use of AI is to spark initial ideas and then continually revise designs throughout the process.

ARTBOX EXPO Basel 2023

| Dasha Wagner

Summer in Switzerland is devoted to celebrating artistic diversity and innovation. On June 15th, ARTBOX EXPO Basel opened its doors at the Jean Tinguely Luminator exhibition space, located in the departure zone of EuroAirport Basel. This is one of the most engaging events curated by ARTBOX.PROJECT in Switzerland, which was taking place during Art Basel 2023 week.  

Art Basel is a four-day event that begins on the third Thursday of June. This year it took place from June 15 to 18, and ARTBOX EXPO was a part of this global event. During several days visitors were able to experience a fascinating journey through the world of art. The different styles and techniques created an incredible diversity, and offered many opportunities for interpretations and discussions.

One of the most captivating Dasha’s artworks has been presented digitally on the large 85″ screens. Placed nearby the entrance, it attracted the visitors’ attention and interest. It is always gratifying to see how the combination of traditionally and digitally presented art creates a fascinating dynamic and opens up new perspectives on the possibilities of artistic creation.

“We aim to ignite inspiration, provoke thought, and foster dialogue among our diverse audience.”
