London. An Awkward Couple: AI and the Sacred Space of Imagination
Computers used to be for calculation. Now, they are for creation. As AI enters the sacred space of human imagination, we need to reappraise our relationship with the machine.
Will MacNeil, an award-winning digital artist whose work spans top brands including Nike, Adidas, BBC, EA Sports, and the National Museum of Qatar, joins the Projector Global Community to discuss this evolving dynamic.
In this talk, Will explores:
The Human Wrestle: How to "wrestle" with digital tools to create work that feels innately human-crafted.
Data Storytelling: How to use samples of abstract data to create moving artworks that tell emotional stories.
The New Frontier: How to harness and exploit AI to discover new creative languages – without being consumed by the machine itself.
This session wraps these practical insights in a larger discussion about how computers and digital media are influencing our lives and our development as a society.
