Textile Design meets AI

Textile Design meets AI project investigates the potential of computational design systems, including artificial intelligence in the design of seamless knits. It focuses on generating innovative forms and textures and their combinations. By utilising AI, we aim to enhance the creative process and streamline design possibilities, exploring and exploiting what digital knitting together with computational design enables.

Role of AI in two-fold in the project, as evolutionary algorithm drives the global geometry solution generation, and texturing applies generative diffusion-based AI.

The project is part of art-ai-fact initiative.

Exploring new design processes for knitted textile forms

Using AI in knit design enhances creativity by allowing designers to experiment with numerous variations quickly, while also optimizing production processes to improve efficiency.

The technique and machinery set several limitations that guide the development of generative AI. Textile Design meets AI project's aim is to enhance the creative process and streamline design possibilities.

The contributors are Anna-Mari Leppisaari, Maija Fagerlund, Venla Elonsalo, Severi Uusitalo and Maarit Salolainen, all at Aalto.
