AI meets Creativity at CUDE Week at HTW Berlin
In early May, CUDE Week took place at HTW Berlin, bringing together students from the Faculty of Culture and Design (CUDE). During the week, the Wilhelminenhof campus was transformed into a vibrant creative space, offering interdisciplinary courses open to all students across culture and design programs.
EUonAIR Research Assistant Morten Newe hosted the workshop KI:TCHEN, where participants explored how artificial intelligence can be integrated into creative processes. Working with both language models and diffusion models such as FLUX, students developed their own creative concepts.
The results were concept art illustrations based on self-developed game or film scenarios. Students created and researched their own settings, visualizing how buildings, characters, or objects might appear within them.
Morten emphasized that his goal was to show students that AI does not simply generate images, but functions as a tool within a workflow that relies heavily on human decision-making, curation, and editing.
