SUMMARY:Roundtable Discussion on the Role of Analog Arts in a Digital AI World
DESCRIPTION:“What Role Do Physical Analog Arts Still Have in a World of AI and Digital Media?” \nEvent Details: \nDate: 4th of November 2024\nTime: 17.00 UK\nLocation: Committee Room 1\, House of Lords\, London\, UK \nThis event will explore the enduring value of analog and physical arts in a society increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and digital technologies. We are thrilled to feature a dynamic lineup of speakers\, including Mary Fisk-Taylor representing a business heavily engaged in analogue art creation\, Lawrence Lek recent winner of the Frieze London artist award 2024 and a practitioner of AI-enabled art\, and Joy Omoregie – GenAI innovative programs lead\, within the GenAI Innovation Centre at Amazon Web Services – who will bring their expertise and perspectives to kick off the conversation. \nThe discussion will cover topics such as: \n1. The Historical and Cultural Importance of Physical Arts: How physical arts have shaped our societies and what still persists today as we move into a new era of AI and digitally generated art. \n2. The Disruptive Force of AI in the Art World: As AI can now mimic\, replicate\, and even generate styles\, how do we understand the value of human-generated and physical art in a digital-first world? \n3. The Role of Policy in Balancing Physical and Digital Art Forms: How policymakers can foster a healthy relationship between our historic physical-first culture and the emerging digital culture.
