We are thrilled to announce that our project, “A Coin Designed by AI”, in collaboration with the National Press-Mint (), has received two honourable mentions at 2024! 🏆✨

Our project was recognised in the categories of Design and Technology and Design and Innovation, highlighting the groundbreaking and quality of our -driven process.

The master’s thesis "Graphic Ground: Generative modular system for visual communication materials" was honored with the APDC Best Thesis Award in the Media category.

Laura Pais, a Master’s student in Design and Multimedia, developed this thesis under the supervision of Ana Boavida and Tiago Martins.

A limited edition silver coin "𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝", was unveiled today at the National Press-Mint in Lisbon. It results from a collaboration between my research group and the National Mint. I am thrilled with this project that allowed us to use and develop new computational creativity techniques.

Obviously, a coin has two sides. In this case, one side was designed by AI for humans and the other by humans for AI. With this, we wish to represent the reality where the natural and the artificial are inseparable and promote and support human-machine collaboration.

Congratulations to the amazing team: João Bicker, Amílcar Cardoso, João Nuno Correia, João Miguel Cunha, Luís Espírito Santo, Nuno Lourenço, Sérgio Rebelo, Tiago Martinss
