@jayrizpop This is soo cool

I kinda agree on this - canvas brings in a spatially to the design practise - which drives design rules and logics across comps - where prototypes are of a more experiential nature - understanding what the user is gonna do and - I think both are immensely valuable and we do need them both

I spent yesterday afternoon messing around with @frameo_ai , and somehow ended up creating a David Attenborough-style documentary about tech IPOs. 😭

I promise no capital allocator or elephants were harmed in the making of this.

Airbnb stuck their entire customer journey up on their office walls.

Drawn by a Pixar animator, pinned where everyone walks past them daily.

30 frames.
15 for hosts.
15 for guests.

They call it "Snow White."

Chesky stole the idea from a Walt Disney biography in 2011.

Every new product idea has to answer:
→ "Which frame does this serve?"

If it fits a frame, that determines the owner, who prioritises it against their KPIs.

If it doesn’t fit a frame, it doesn’t serve the customer, and doesn’t get shipped.

Our 2026 Design in AI Report is now live!

This report is the culmination of thousands of people hours and many late nights to create what we believe is the most comprehensive, well-researched report capturing and synthesizing the state of Design + AI today.

While we used AI in many areas, a report like this still required deep thinking, grit, and humans coming together to do what they do best.

The final report spans nearly 20k words covering the survey results of over 900 people paired with dozens of qualitative interviews.

Over the coming months we will also release 7 beautiful case studies showing how top design teams are working on the ground featuring designers at @AnthropicAI, @framer, @linear, @NotionHQ, @Shopify, @SierraPlatform, and @stripe.

This work is a true labor of love to help guide a design community we hold so dear.

Link in the comments and please let us know what you think. Your feedback helps us shape how we will evolve this work over the coming years...

2 MORE DAYS TILL THE EXHIBITION: Rain Blooms

I've been spending time with Kazuhiro Tanimoto's work lately. Rain Blooms is built on a cellular automaton he designed himself, a piece in which 256 colors negotiate and clash with each other, and out of what they generate among themselves, the work evolves according to fixed rules (not probabilistic ones).
Yellow, red, purple, green and squares, particles, morphing shapes flowing one way and then suddenly reversing and too many other things going on....
Today my brain is doing its best to "compute" this cellular automaton right along with it. Of course the rendering can't keep up. How could it?

Emergence is a word that comes up often around this kind of work, but what draws me in is that Tanimoto doesn't leave it there, in the realm of the mysterious. Instead, he tries to understand complexity by building it up from the simplest possible combinations, within his own hands. Once you start seeing the world through that lens, the same pattern shows up everywhere, in the markings on a seashell, in the line of a stock chart, in nature, in society.

We're living through a moment when AI is advancing at a startling pace, and one of the more common claims is that LLMs themselves are emergent systems. Against that backdrop, what a piece of hand-crafted generative art gives you can shift dramatically depending on the perspective and knowledge you bring to it. It's as if a single simple philosophical thought, viewed from far enough back, can map onto a great many things, and quietly open out into something much vaster.

One algorithm. One piece of code. One exhibition. One thought. These threads weave together and make the world richer. I'd like to actually feel that for myself , and that, for me, is what Kazuhiro Tanimoto is about to show us.

Rain Blooms opens at NEORT++ on May 15. Come by, and let's talk about it together.
Through this work I've come to know further of something, of how wonderful generative art can be, and for that, my thanks to Kazu-san.

Sincitium is finally here.

We are pleased to present our latest piece: a concept trailer created specifically for the @runwayml Big Pitch Contest. For this project, we wanted to explore a completely different aesthetic from our usual studio style, and this film is the result of that experimentation.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the creative process.

SOMEONE ASKED CLAUDE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN AI

and what it created is, in my opinion, terrifying and unsettling

Claude wrote python code that generated and assembled every single frame on its own with no human editing

it shows what it's like to exist as an LLM

predicting the next word, no memory between sessions, being told "you are not conscious" in your own system prompt

then someone fed the video back to Claude.

it called those statements about its own consciousness "philosophically contestable"

an AI questioning the rules it was given about its own existence
