About the Talk

What happens when AI can generate texts, illustrations and concepts that mirror established aesthetics, or create new genres? Are we witnessing novel forms of collaboration or fundamental challenges to artistic authenticity?

Whether you're an artist, curator, collector, or simply curious about our evolving creative landscape, this Zoom-only session offers essential perspectives on thoughtfully integrating AI into our creative ecosystems while preserving the human values at the heart of artistic expression.
