Parsons School of Design Presents:
Recess // Reset: Conversations for Design Tomorrow
May 20 | 2:00–5:00 PM | Parsons School of Design
What does it mean to be intelligent in an AI-powered world? What should never be optimized away? Join us for an afternoon of short talks, provocations, group dialogues, and live experiments exploring Artificial Intelligence, creativity, and the future of learning.
From questioning what AI can’t (and shouldn’t) replicate to defending the value of doubt, delay, and design friction—this is not your typical panel. It’s a playground for uncertainty.
Featuring:
Jeongki Lim, Andrew Shea, Katrin Bichler, Mark Bechtel, Xevi Aqueel, Hyon Woo Scott Chung, Michele Gorman, Samar Youns, Garrett Vercoe (Spolia Lab), De Angela L. Duff + more.
Hosted by:
Cotter Christian, Dean of the School of Constructed Environments, and
Carly Cannell, Assistant Professor and Director of BFA Interior Design, founder of weetu
Session 1: What Even Is Intelligence?
