SUMMARY:Hello\, Robot: Welcoming the Age of Human-Robot Interaction
DESCRIPTION:Card79 has been at the cutting edge of design and technology since our inception\, continually pushing the boundaries with emerging technologies like neurotechnology and robotics. This year\, we’re stepping away from our CAD tools and Post-it notes to invite you to a special evening focused on Human-Robot Interactions. \nWith the fields of AI and Hardware converging\, a technology inflection point is on the horizon. This historical moment holds the potential to enable robots to take on considerably more complex tasks—from caring for aging baby boomers to dramatically simplifying manufacturing processes. But how can we ensure this technical progress will actually address our complex human needs? \nJoin us as we open our studio for the first time to explore this emerging field of human-robot interactions. We’ll share our latest insights on the intersection of design and robotics and have invited some very special friends and collaborators to give speed presentations on these topics. \nOur guest speakers include: \n\nProf. Jussi Ängeslevä\, a partner at ART+COM and an independent designer who brings over 20 years of experience in UX and emerging technologies.\nGreg Katz\, an award-winning industrial designer with over 10 years working across design firms and in-house teams at Google X\, Everyday Robots\, and Amazon Lab126.\nAfshin Mehin\, who will share Card79’s work in developing robots for clients like Neuralink\, along with the team’s futuristic projects in speculative robotics.\n\nStay tuned for more speakers to be added — we have a lot in store for attendees! \nDoors open at 6:00 PM. Don’t miss this opportunity — secure your spot and RSVP now! \n

SUMMARY:(REGISTRATION ENDS FRIDAY 5/31) Beyond the Sparkles: Tips on building a “boring” product equity practice with Adobe
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION ENDS FRIDAY 5/31 so we can send the list to security at Adobe! \nDeveloping a product equity and inclusion practice is often an effort that attracts many passionate volunteers\, yet few people who can dedicate themselves full-time to the work. Because of that\, there can be pressure to create shiny\, quick wins that lead to practitioner burnout and miss the mark with communities we strive to serve. \n  \nIn this session\, Es Braziel\, Staff Experience Researcher\, Product Equity\, Adobe\, will illustrate what it means to do product equity work with cross-functional teams and drive a sustainable practice. The session will include small group discussions\, where attendees will be invited to reflect on learnings with those around them. \n\nDoors at 4pm\nPresentation from 4:15-4:45\nMixer 4:45-5:15\nWant to add on the Adobe Create Now event starting at 5:30pm? See below!!!\n\nAttendees will be treated to food\, drink\, and swag and are welcome to stay for the Adobe Create Now event directly after Beyond the Sparkles (register here for the additional Adobe Create Now event which starts at 5:30pm).

SUMMARY:Onur Yüce Gun: The In-Between is the Best Place to be at (AI\, Computational Design\, Digital Manufacturing)
DESCRIPTION:The In-Between is the Best Place to be at\nOnur Yuce Gun\, Ph.D. \nThe forthcoming lecture at San Francisco Design Week 2023\, titled “The in-between is the best place to be at\,” promises to offer an insightful exploration of the future of design from a human-centered digital computation perspective. This event is sponsored by New Balance. \nAligned with the event’s theme\, ‘Plot Twist\,’ this lecture will emphasize the importance of embracing change and the unexpected\, rather than clinging to stability and trends\, as a fundamental aspect of design thinking and existence. \nJust as the city of San Francisco thrives on the twists and turns that drive innovation and progress\, so too does computational design. Similarly\, “plot twists” that have disrupted industries and economies will be explored as crucial moments that have enriched Onur’s unique design career trajectory. Whether planned or unplanned\, these changes will be presented as opportunities to spark creativity and shape the future. \nThis lecture will uniquely portray Computational Design by drawing on experiences and accomplished projects\, ranging from half-a-mile tall skyscrapers to limited production 3D-printed shoes. It will weave a narrative of how these elements intertwine with the human experience and the concept of getting lost. \nThe discussion will span a variety of topics\, including complete value chains\, human-centered innovative thinking\, hobbyist teaching\, servant leadership\, ontology\, and references to Dante’s Divine Comedy. The lecture aims to provide a fresh perspective on navigating the “plot twists” of our rapidly evolving world\, by being persistent on residing in the in-between\, and stimulate engaging conversations on this captivating topic. \n  \nBIO \nOnur Yüce Gün is a seasoned computational design leader\, researcher\, and instructor. Trained as an architect\, Onur holds a Masters in Design and Computation\, and a Ph.D. in Computation with a minor in Media Arts and Sciences earned at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nRecognized by TEDx\, and Time Magazine’s best inventions lists\, Onur’s work has been internationally published\, exhibited\, and awarded.
