"Sure, we could sit and fearmonger about how AI will one day replace designers, but here's an alternative reality - what if AI didn't replace us, it just created a parallel reality? Like you've got Japanese ceramics, Italian ceramics, and Turkish ceramics, what if you could have AI ceramics? Not a replacement, not a substitute, just another channel. That's what BKID envisioned with 'Texture Ware', a series of cups designed entirely by AI and manufactured using 3D printing."
"The AI feeds itself a vast repository of data and uses its own database to make textural products that humans then use. BKID's results look nothing like anything we've seen before, each cup of the Texture Ware series looks almost alien, an exaggeration of textures found in nature taken to an extreme. You wouldn't find such cups in a handicrafts bazaar or your local IKEA. They're so different that they exist as a separate entity within the industry, not a replacement of the industry itself."
BKID produced Texture Ware, a series of cups designed entirely by AI and manufactured through 3D printing with minimal human cultural input. The only human contribution is a text prompt specifying desired texture. The workflow chains generative tools—ChatGPT's Dall-E to generate texture images, Midjourney to render cups, and Vizcom to translate 2D cup images into 3D models—followed by direct 3D printing. The AI trains on a vast data repository to generate exaggerated, nature-inspired textures that result in alien, unfamiliar forms occupying a separate aesthetic channel alongside traditional handcrafted ceramics.
