Danish artist Andreas Refsgaard has been combining generative AI with handcrafted prototypes to create unique glimpses of what’s ahead—a future that could one day make artists like him obsolete.
What if instead of asking AI to generate a picture, you built a cardboard model of what you wanted it to depict?
That’s exactly what Refsgaard has been exploring with his Future Mirror project, which invites students to use recycled materials to build prototypes of artifacts from

In 2022, the photo-sharing app surged in popularity, won Apple’s “App of the Year,” and even earned its own SNL skit.
