10th International Student Poster Competition Skopje 2017

Artificial Intelligence (as stated in the Encyclopedia Britannica) is the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans, such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past.

Technology is ruling our lives, killing our imagination. We experience difficulty in enjoying human, spiritual pleasures as conversation, art… This state of absorbency with technology is supposed to get more serious not only in terms of influence to our personal future but also the business environment.

The objective

Our responsibility as designers is to state our point of view and to send powerful message!!!
It is hugely important to understand the nature of this emerging problem. Political will and open-minded business elites are necessary in order to come to a solution to this issue.
Artificial Intelligence is both considered a positive stepping stone into the future and a threat.

Goal

Is there interesting controversies you would underline or open questions that you are as well willing to answer?

Are super-intelligent robots that accomplish goals with excellence are treat to us? In this phase of raising power of technology, can we – as smartest beings – control the automated robots? What are your thoughts about the future of artificial intelligence and what it should mean for humanity? Is there any misconceptions or challenges we have to face?

Those are few of many questions that surely will inspire different interpretations!

We encourage people, both in and outside the design and cultural community, to join this movement! Try to create and provoke an attention that will grow in to international movement, campaign. Explain/complain/create and achieve higher standards of visual communication and visualize your thinking.

As designers we are obligated to act toward solving problems or pointing out solutions. Therefor we are going to create and provoke a global action, first by inviting students to participate for the competition, then by inviting the professional designers and by several social campaign actions in order to raise awareness.
