    NEW TECHNOLOGY and OPPORTUNITIES

    AI and page production and New Workspaces 

    Tobias Köngeter New possibilities for layout and page assembly with next-gen software and AI Description: Today, printed matter is exposed to different conditions than it was a few years ago. It must be possible to produce them more efficiently and at short notice. Sometimes they should be individual in order to provide the recipient with exactly the information he or she needs. It must be possible to update or exchange content more quickly. This requires software that thinks for itself and that can learn and apply design rules itself if necessary. This calls for intelligent systems that keep track of things and can apply the strengths of the digital world to printing products. Köngeter will show what possibilities there are and could be, and how this can work in connection with AI.


    Vedacon is an interior design company that was given a project to redesign office and working space for several companies at the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic. We will hear about their innovative solutions. Vedacon is also involved in designing new headquarters for Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The designers Kathleen Zink and Nina Hauk will share some ideas about this unique project.
