Re:Imagined — Creativity in the Age of AI
An honest conversation (over lunch) at the intersection of art and algorithms.
AI is no longer just a tool in the background—it’s becoming a collaborator, a creator, and sometimes even a competitor. As generative tools reshape what’s possible across visual art, music, writing, and design, creatives are left with big questions:
Should artists incorporate AI into their process—or resist it?
Can AI truly create art? Or is it simply remixing what already exists?
Who owns AI-generated work? And who gets credit?
How can artists protect their original work in a world of data scraping and algorithmic mimicry?
Join us for lunch and a candid, cross-disciplinary panel of designers, musicians, marketers, and technologists exploring what AI means for the creative process—and the creative profession.
Whether you’re skeptical, excited, or just trying to keep up, this is a conversation for anyone navigating the new frontier where human creativity meets machine intelligence.
