•OnlineThe AI Salon: Byte-Pair Artistry
OnlineIs your AI strategy stuck on "productivity"? It's time to go deeper.
Neuroscience suggests our reality is a "controlled hallucination." As AI becomes capable of generating its own, who better to master this new landscape than artists—the original architects of perception?
The AI Salon, a collaborative community by
chim.ai and AI Austria, invites you to our next deep conversation. We're moving beyond the hype of tool demos to question the very nature of creativity in the age of intelligent machines.Join our strategic dialogue for the thinkers and doers building the next wave of innovation.
Date: Thursday, October 16, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM CEST
Location: Online — Live on LinkedIn (Link provided upon registration)
Hosted by: Dr. Andreas Fraunberger (Founder, chim.ai), Patrick Schabus (Artist, Producer), Artem Zelenskii (AI Expert, Founder Aira.today) and AI Austria.### About This Salon: Questioning Everything
Forget what you can do with AI. Let's discuss what you should do. We are bringing together a panel of pioneering artists who are not just using AI, but challenging it, training it and using it in a reflected way.
Karin Ferrari is an Italian media artist from Merano who works with images from pop and internet culture and explores subcultures, conspiracy theories and speculative narratives in her videos and collages.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karin_FerrariAndrew Mezvinsky is an American artist from Philadelphia who now lives in Vienna and New York and works with animation, drawing, painting, performance and digital installation – always focusing on the artistic exploration of what is lost in the process of translation between expression and perception.
https://www.andrewmezvinsky.com/about/Together, we will explore the critical questions that define the next frontier of innovation:
- The Resonance Dilemma: In a world saturated with synthetic content, where does AI enhance human connection, and where does it create a void? The Artist's Playbook for Business: Art is always ahead. What can strategic leaders learn from the courage, design thinking, and empirical methods of artists who are already mastering AI?
- Beyond Automation: Where does AI transcend being a tool and become a true partner for gaining quality ideas, strategic understanding, and profound insights?
- The Moat of Authenticity: When everyone has the same tools, how do you build an uncopyable advantage? Learn how top creators use AI to become
more authentic, not less.
### Who Should Attend?
This event is for you if you are:
- A Creative Professional or Artist seeking to strategically integrate AI into your practice.
- A CMO, Marketing Leader, or Agency Head looking for a competitive edge that goes beyond surface-level automation.
- An Innovator or Startup Founder who believes technology should amplify human ingenuity, not just replace it.
- A Business Strategist curious about how artistic methods can help create new models for growth and problem-solving.
### What You Will Gain
