​Artist and the Machine Presents: From Studio to Storyverse, the Next Era of Creative Expression

​Los Angeles | June 5, 2025

​Coming off the heels of a buzzing inaugural NY Summit, join leading AI & Creativity Series Artist and the Machine as we explore the next frontier of storytelling, media, and human-machine collaboration in Los Angeles on June 5, 2025. We'll gather at Neuehouse Venice Beach for an intimate, intentional evening and thought provoking conversation with pioneers across entertainment, media, and creative technology. This curated salon, From Studio to Storyverse, will examine how new tools and models are radically transforming how stories are imagined and produced in the age of AI.

​The evening will feature bold conversations with leaders from Adobe, Asteria, Mini Studio, Story, Red Bull and more—and a highly curated room of studios, brand leaders, creators, filmmakers, and next-gen media companies. From the evolution of the creative stack to the rise of AI-native studios and the shifting definition of authorship, we’ll dig into what’s coming next—and how human creativity can thrive in this new era.
