The .ART Team just attended Christie's Art & Tech Summit in Paris - a fascinating deep dive into the evolving landscape of creativity, gaming, and AI. Some key takeaways: 🖼️ AI & Art – Not a replacement, but a collaborator. Hugo Caselles-Dupré, PhD from The Obvious art trio explored non-invasive mind-reading tech to understand visual context, while speakers stressed that AI won’t replace artists, but rather expand what’s possible. The question isn’t whether AI creates art, but how we define skill in the modern age. 🎮 Gaming is the next creative frontier. With 4 billion gamers worldwide, it’s bigger than film and music combined. The Sandbox and Daniel Nathan of Homa and Mathieu Ceverty from Sandbox spoke about how gaming isn’t just entertainment—it’s a fundamental human need, much like music, with genres for everyone. For artists, gaming is another canvas—a space where digital ownership, blockchain, and Web3 are reshaping engagement. And now, Christie’s is taking it further. Their upcoming "Augmented Intelligence" sale is a landmark moment—20 works by pioneering digital artists pushing the boundaries of human-machine creativity. AI is no longer a distant future; it’s here, and it’s redefining how we create, collect, and experience art. Creativity is changing, skill is evolving, and—if 50% of the world’s population are now digital natives—perhaps one day, all of humanity will be creatives, because we now have the tools to make it possible.

Preserving Culture Amidst the Flames As wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles, our hearts are with the residents, first responders, and cultural institutions navigating these challenging times. The fires are a stark reminder of the fragility of not only our homes and landscapes but also our cultural heritage. Museums, galleries, and private collections in the region hold irreplaceable pieces of history and identity. Their preservation is not just about safeguarding objects—it’s about protecting the stories and narratives that define who we are. In moments like these, the importance of digital archives becomes clear. While nothing can replace the physical, having these works preserved digitally ensures their essence endures even in the face of unimaginable loss. We extend our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the fires and our gratitude to the firefighters and cultural workers striving to protect lives and legacies. Let us hold onto hope that these treasures, both human and artistic, will prevail. Read our reflection on the fires and their impact on the art world: https://lnkd.in/ebFheNrA #Wildfires #CulturalHeritage #Preservation #ArtResilience
