Seminar, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Summer semester 2026
invited by Prof. Kristian Wolf
In this two-week intensive course, students explore open-source AI models in the fields of image, audio, speech, and video as design materials for experimental interfaces.
The key rule: No traditional chat interface. Students develop their own forms of interaction, such as via camera, voice, gestures, movement, or physical objects.
