AI is another frontier that is very much still in it’s infancy. One of the more compelling aspects of AI is how quickly it is evolving and we don’t yet know where that will lead. As an Artist, Filmmaker, Designer, and Musician, there are already so many ways to collaborate with AI. Looking forward to exploring new contexts for thinking at the confluence of Art, Design, Technology, and Philosophy.
