LAFKON is a laboratory for graphic design occupied by Benjamin Stephan and Christoph Haag. Lately they have been doing practice-based research on generative processes as design tools and started to rebuild Deep Blue to work for them as a layout intern.

"Our development is a lot concerned with finding and building interfaces. Interfaces to software, data, information, users. Interfaces that are designed in a way that makes them remain re-configurable to function in ways not necessarily facilitated by the owner, administrator, or designer.* We enjoy exploring the details of programmable systems and stretching their capabilities,* instead of learning the minimum necessary. This raises also the bar for our own design practise. We try to design systems, that are re-configurable to function in ways not necessarily facilitated by us."

Christoph Haag studied design at the Academy of Media Arts
Cologne / Department of Hybrid Space.
