For the first Dreamforum AI Conference at Bright Moments Venice Beach, Leo Emanuel, CEO of Autoaim, and Si Parmeggiani, aka Neptunian Glitter Ball, a Creative Director at Meta, shared insights about how AI can be utilized by brands and advertising agencies and why wise creatives will embrace these tools.

“What I’m seeing in the past couple of months is a complete pivot from, ‘I hate AI,’ to, ‘Shit, I need to be on it as soon as possible.’” - Si Parmeggiani

In this frank and informative chat, Si and Leo discuss the applications for AI tools in the hands of creatives, agencies, and brands, where things stand today, and where things are going soon.

“AI won’t take your job. A person using AI will.” - Leo Emanuel

What can we expect from AI in the right hands? The consensus is lower costs, more quantity, and higher quality — along with unprecedented personalization.

After debuting ‘AI Imagined Faces: On-Chain’ at Bright Moments Tokyo, Pindar Van Arman visited Venice Beach to reflect on the collection, as well as his experiences as both an AI artist and an art collector.

As someone who was early to AI art, he has rare perspective on where we are now from where we started. He shares insights on the similarities and differences between humans and machines and how both can be creative in different ways. He delves into his experience collecting genesis pieces from Claire Silver and XCOPY, generating truly random numbers from quantum computers, and how he became a crypto artist who uses AI vs. an AI artist who uses crypto.

He also shares advice for emerging artists to save them from some of the hard lessons he has learned over his career.

If you’re interested in artificial intelligence, on-chain art, or some of the deeper aspects of technology and humanity, this will be a fascinating talk for you.

After debuting 'Civics' -- a collection depicting civil disobedience through synthetic photojournalism at Bright Moments Tokyo, Kevin Abosch visited our Venice Beach gallery to discuss his past, his process, and these works with Seth Goldstein and our guests.

Kevin's story is fascinating, running the gamut from giving up science to pursue truth in art, to selling actor headshots in order to survive, to discovering crypto, to tokenizing himself as a commodity, to machine learning and synthetic photography.
