As our environment becomes more digital, new technologies are reshaping and challenging our traditional ways of interacting with our creative tools.

In an era dominated by AI and automation, how can we actively engage with and question these new tools?

Can we shape them to meet our needs and expand our understanding of their impact?

Rather than seeing AI as a threat to human creativity, how can we engage with it critically - harnessing it as a tool for deeper understanding while challenging dominant power structures and advocating for ethical innovation?

This one-day experience, combining lectures and interactive workshops, explores the human drive towards artistic and technological expression, affi rming that human creativity is not only necessary to our evolution but an essential act of meaning-making.

Through artistic engagement, ethical reflection, and deep inquiry, participants are invited to explore the dynamic interplay between analogue and digital, where creativity finds new forms of expression.

Participants will engage in a hands-on drawing and writing workshop, where their live creations will be augmented with AI-enabled tools, leading into a broader group discussion.

Join us in this exploration of creativity as a vital force - one that has always defi ned, challenged, and expanded what it means to be human.

Recent master graduates from UAL’s course on Design for Art Direction, with thesis focused on digital world and AI, Maria Catalano and Leon Ferretti, will be leading the sessions.

Maria Catalano will introduce the concept of creative necessity, and expand on how our tools, both traditional and digital, shape our creativity, reflecting our evolving needs and expanding our capacity for expression.

Leon Ferretti will guide us through an insightful ecological analogy for new technologies, exploring the relationship between the analogue and digital realms, for a collective investigation into AI and its potential implications.
