​When Worlds Converge: Art, AI & the Future of Human-Centered Innovation.

​Co‑Hosted by Schulich Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Pursuits Inc. and Demo Room!

​Event Overview

​Schulich’s Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Pursuits Inc, and Demo Room present a flagship event exploring the intersection of art, artificial intelligence, biometrics, and digital trust.

​The first public announcement and advance look inside the Heart Space Canadian exhibition tour (2027), a groundbreaking immersive digital artwork by internationally acclaimed artist Krista Kim, as she returns home following years of international exhibitions in Hong Kong, London, Barcelona, Seoul, Dubai, Las Vegas, New York, and more.

​Heart Space is the world’s first collaborative, AI-generative immersive artwork driven by real-time biometric data. Participants’ heartbeats (their unique biometric imprint) are translated into dynamic colours and waveforms, creating a continuously evolving collective composition…

​It is also an opportunity to understand the groundbreaking technology of Tenbeo (a Brussels-based biotechnology company pioneering identity authentication through advanced biometric AI) and technology provider behind the exhibition.

​As AI advances, protecting digital identities and proof-of-humanity protocols are key to safeguarding human agency, creativity, and dignity…

​Join us to hear Krista Kim and an amazing panel of arts and technology leaders explore these crucial concepts and delve into "proof-of-humanity" in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
