Where Art Meets Machine: Creating Stories That Change How We See

Thu, May 28, 11:00 PM

From Startup Grind NYC

From Central Park Sketching & Art Meetup Group

Award-winning directors **[Michaela Ternasky-Holland](https://michaelaternaskyholland.com/?utm_source=luma)** and **[Aaron Santiago](https://aaron.work/?utm_source=luma)** are building worlds at the cutting edge of AI, VR, and immersive media. Rather than create for spectacle, their aim is to **collapse the distance between strangers.** In collaboration with the **[National Arts Club](https://www.nacnyc.org/?utm_source=luma)** and its **[Art and Technology Committee](https://www.nacnyc.org/arts-and-programs/committees?utm_source=luma)**, this conversation will reveal how they use **generative AI, motion capture, 360° cinematography, projection mapping, and volumetric capture** to tell stories that cross lines of culture, ability, and lived experience. From Emmy-winning VR documentaries screened at **Tribeca and Cannes** to experimental AI films created with OpenAI's SORA, Ternasky-Holland and Santiago work where technology stops being a tool and starts becoming a language. They'll discuss their solo projects, their collaborations, and the question at the heart of their practice: **Does technology inspire art, or does art give technology meaning?** Whether you're a creator, technologist, or just curious about where storytelling is headed, this is a rare chance to hear from two artists **shaping the future of how we connect.** Reserve your spot and **arrive early**. Space is limited.

Sat, May 23, 3:00 PM

From Figure Drawing NYC--Summer Sketch Group and Draw-mania!

Central Park is beautiful no matter what the season, but spring is incredible. And no spot is more flowery than the Conservatory Garden, one of my favorite places to sketch in the city. Come draw with us! **We'll meet at the entrance to the park, the fancy gate at East 105th Street on 5th Avenue.** Any problems on the day of the event, I can be reached at 646-831-9816. Looking forward to sketching with you! *** IMPORTANT: In case of rain, I will let people know early in the morning if it is canceled, and then reschedule for another day. *** What makes our Meetups different from other art groups and classes? There's no instruction, but we like to share our work, and chat and be inspired. Share tips and learn from people in a casual environment where all levels of artists are welcome! Don't be shy to ask anyone anything! • We sketch for a bit, usually 45 minutes or so, and then get back together and share our drawings, and then sketch again, etc. There's usually time for 3 sketches. • Please bring your own supplies - anything you like to work with - pens, pencil, watercolor, pastel, small sketchbook or large paper, iPad, whatever suits you. • We hand out nametags so everyone can meet one another! • We take photos to share on the site later. Take a bunch! • Sorry, but please leave the dogs at home; they tend to step on the artwork. Thanks. • The Meetup is FREE and everyone at all skill levels is welcome! *** Please note that if you add a comment below it will spam everyone with an email, so please use your judgment.

Plein Air Painting at the Conservatory Garden in Central Park

Sun, May 17, 5:00 PM

***Please read the Community Code on the Group Description page before you RSVP*** **What to Expect:** We'll spend around 3-4 hours outdoors in the city, making art and enjoying each other's company. After the painting session, we will go to a nearby cafe/restaurant to further connect. Expect a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where you can unleash your creativity and connect with fellow artists. We are going to the Conservatory Garden in Central Park. Tucked away on the northeastern edge of Central Park at 105th Street and Fifth Avenue, the Conservatory Garden is the park's only formal garden — and one of its best kept secrets. Three distinct garden sections offer a richness of subjects: the Italian-style central garden with its grand wisteria pergola and sweeping lawn, the romantic English-style South Garden with its ornate fountain and seasonal blooms, and the French-inspired North Garden with its circular beds and canopied crabapple allées. Light filters through the trees beautifully throughout the afternoon, and there's a stillness here that lends itself perfectly to careful, observational work. The garden is free and open to the public. **How to Get There:** *\- By Subway:* 6 Train: Take the 6 train to 103rd Street. Walk one block east to Fifth Avenue, then two blocks north to 105th Street. The Vanderbilt Gate will be right in front of you. About a 5-minute walk. *\- By Bus:* Take the M1, M2, M3, or M4 bus along Fifth Avenue and get off at 105th Street — the gate is steps away. *\- By Car:* Head to Fifth Avenue and 105th Street. Street parking is available along Fifth Avenue and surrounding blocks, but arrive a little early on weekends as spots fill up. *\- Walking Directions:* Walk north along Fifth Avenue to 105th Street. Look for the grand ornate iron Vanderbilt Gate on your left — that's our meeting point. **Agenda:** **1:00 PM – 1:10 PM:** Gather at the Vanderbilt Gate entrance on Fifth Avenue at 105th Street. From there we will spend the next 5-10 minutes wandering through the three garden sections to find the perfect spot to settle. **1:30 PM – 4:30 PM**: Painting and drawing session. **4:30 PM – 5:00** PM: Regroup for show and tell If you are new, introduce yourself and your art practice with the group, share your work (optional), sources of inspiration, and thoughts on the overall experience. After that we'll head to a nearby spot for food and drinks. We encourage you to stay as this is the part that helps us truly connect and foster a meaningful connection with each other. **What to Bring:** Something to paint with — your preferred painting mediums: oil paints, watercolours, acrylics, gouache, ink, pastel, markers etc. Brushes, pens and/or pencils. Something to paint on — linen, canvas, paper, sketchbook etc. Easels/pochade box (optional). Beginners can join in with just a sketchbook or an iPad. Dress comfortably for outdoor painting and bring a hat to shield yourself from the sun. Bring a folding chair if you like to sit and draw. **NOTE —** Dress comfortably for outdoor painting. The garden has restrooms and there are cafes and restaurants a short walk away on Fifth Avenue and Lexington Avenue. There are benches throughout the garden. If you are new to the group shoot a text and I'll keep an eye out for you. Insiya — 706-286-4715. If you are getting late, let us know promptly. * *We snap pics for social media.* * *If you're not cool with that, just give us a heads-up!*
