Event Details

As AI continues to reshape our understanding of reality, ownership, and storytelling, how do artists and technologists navigate this new landscape? Earth Oracle brings together diverse perspectives to discuss the tools, ethics, and potential of our digital future.

The evening will begin with a special presentation by artist Delphine Diallo, followed by a panel discussion featuring Clarisse Neu (Google DeepMind) and Patricia Buffa (Adobe).
