«n_Gen Design Machine»
«n_Gen» is a program that generates design automatically and can thus be compared to other programs that generate music, texts, poetry, and images. We could tie this phenomenon to the concept of the postmodern End among other things if it were not for the specific end product of this program. Its peculiarity lies in the role design plays in contemporary society. Design is an important element of the capitalist machinery as it is an exclusively commercial sphere with a huge turnover. In design, the mass-scale borrowing of ideas and repetition is common though many designers have self-identities of brilliant artists. n_Gen represents a potential threat to this society, as it questions the existence and the value of this massive class of designers. That is why we doubt that the existing beta-version with limited functionality will ever be developed into a fully functional product meeting existing polygraphy standards.
