About Event

CTRL+SHIFT is an immersive evening of talks, digital art, and community connection at the intersection of AI, creativity, and culture.

We’re bringing together artists, technologists, designers, and devs who see generative AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a collaborator, unlocking new forms of expression across image, video, audio, and code.

Whether you’re building, experimenting, or just curious, CTRL SHIFT Vol. 5 is your place to connect, learn, and reimagine the future of creative work.
