Art as a critical thinker’s “second opinion” on digital revolution
More detailed information
Many contemporary artists collaborate with scientists, technologists, designers, developers, entrepreneurs and activists to explore the key questions of our technological future. Their work focuses on emerging technologies and on how these reshape the way we live, work and relate to one another.
Artists working with technology do more than examine what technology can do. They ask what it should do. Rather than adapting humans to machines, they advocate for technologies that are shaped around human needs, values and emotions. Their artistic research places meaning, ethics and imagination at the center of innovation.
With the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence, we are moving from automation to autonomy. At this critical tipping point, artists contribute to a vision of digital humanism that seeks to anchor technological progress in fundamental values such as human dignity, freedom, democracy and human rights.
In workshops and presentations, we explore artistic practices engaging with AI, VR, robotics, augmented reality, quantum computing and computational creativity. This interaction between art, science and technology is often described as a new renaissance shaping the cultural imagination of our time.
Erwin Van den Brande works at the intersection of art and business. He sees the rise of AI as a profound tipping point, not only in technology but in how organizations think, create and lead. As algorithms increasingly take over optimization and efficiency, human creativity, imagination and ethical judgment become critical strategic capabilities.
With a background in economics and senior management roles within technology companies, Erwin brings a deep understanding of innovation and disruption from within the business world. He is also an entrepreneur who has founded start ups. Since 2010, he has pursued a career as a visual artist, exhibiting his work in Belgium and internationally.
In his lectures, workshops and advisory sessions, Erwin connects insights from art, AI and business. He challenges organizations to see Art and AI not merely as a tool but as a cultural force that calls for new mindsets, creative leadership and a redefinition of authorship and value in the age of intelligent machines.
