This networking session aims to convene a vibrant community of creatives interested in the intersection of AI and art and will showcase across The Lab’s 50sqm of LED screens how AI is being utilised across different creative domains.

Tailored to ignite curiosity and foster community within the creative industries, this workshop aims to stimulate a sector-wide conversation about the current and future roles of digital technologies, with a specific focus on AI, in shaping creative expression, production, and dissemination. This forum is the first in a series of thematic discussions presented by ILA in partnership with the University of Adelaide’s ARC-funded research project ‘Rebooting the Muse: Post-COVID-19 sustainability in the performing arts.’ Moving forward these workshops will continue to explore AI’s impact on creativity, health and wellbeing, and cultural planning and policy.
