AI Foundation: Tools for Image & Video Creation
A fantastic opportunity for a hands-on creative lab where participants dive into the experimental creative landscape of generative AI visuals. Think of it as a jam session: we’ll create images, moodboards, and animate snippets of video, all while testing how different AI tools “see” the world.
VADATalks Presents Art x AI: Who Makes, Who Owns, Who Decides?
Is AI copying—or creating? Who signs an AI‑made canvas? And when deepfakes blur truth, what should galleries, schools, and collectors do next? Art × AI: Who Makes, Who Owns, Who Decides? brings a philosopher of machine vision (Fabian Offert), a gallerist (Nathan Vonk), a Berlin‑based artist (Ulrike Kerber), a painter‑educator (Scott Anderson), and a media editor (Les Firestein) into one high‑energy, no‑jargon conversation. Expect real cases (from Getty Images v. Stability AI to Warhol v. Goldsmith), fast takes, and audience interaction.
