The Possibilities of Art Unlocked by Technology

Speakers: Neïl Beloufa and others

The development of AI and various other technologies has transformed every aspect of our society. Such technologies have contributed to an expansion in the range of expression in the arts—not only by diversifying and bringing greater complexity to what can be expressed, but also by introducing phenomena into human consciousness that were previously unimaginable. Furthermore, new technologies have led to greater interactivity in the relationship between humans and technology, offering even more unknown possibilities. In this talk, together with artist Neil Beloufa, we will consider how the relationship between technology and people will come to influence art and culture in the future.
