Description

This podcast delves into the epistemology of design and its intersecting fields, including aesthetics and interdisciplinary domains such as human-computer interaction. Through dialogues that spark reflection on knowledge, creativity, and technology, each episode focuses on a central theme, brought to life through the dynamic interplay of two synthetic yet complementary characters. At its core, the podcast asks: How can machines contribute to knowledge creation and reshape our understanding of human thought and the realities we design?
