Artists & the Age of AI: July Meetup

July's Topic: Let's Talk About Digital Twins!
Digital twin technologies are already being used as tools for preservation, authentication, and accessibility in the art world. But how might artists use these technologies to re-imagine the process and life of a creative work? How might this technology forge new models of expression and reshape how we create, share, and experience art?

In this month’s meetup, we’ll ponder the larger implications of digital twin technologies for artists, creatives, and technologists by looking at case study examples of the ways this technology is being incorporated in the art world. Be prepared to engage in a lively group discussion of how we might apply this technology in our own disciplines and industries.
