Live Design International (LDI) 2024

Mary Franck and Jake Pinholster give attendees a lightning-fast overview of the latest trends in XR, AI, and other emerging technologies for live experience as well as an overview of what to expect from the rest of XLIVE.

Ana Estarita-Guerrero uses XR to transform the way we interact with the world around us, and will present case studies that highlight the creative and human-centered side of XR.

Elena Piech shows the latest from ZeroSpace's XR and real-time work. ZeroSpace is a next-gen production & creative studio specializing in the integration of digital, virtual, and live content.

If you are already using AI to research, build, or design any part of your projects, or you are concerned that AI can take your creativity and synthesize your work elsewhere, find out how to protect yourself during this session with Tyson Winarski, patent and intellectual property law professor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.  AI is presenting transformative challenges to legal protection of intellectual property, sign up to learn about copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and licensing in the entertainment technology industry.

 There are few industries generative AI tools haven't touched in the past year. From generating artwork to synthesizing data in spreadsheets and knowledge stores, generative AI has touched a vast array of industries and raised many questions along the way. Matthew Ragan from SudoMagic will share some of their insights and considerations about what working with AI systems means, how to approach them with both skepticism and optimism, and how you can take a considered approach to using generative AI in your work.

Visionary artists and collaborators Aaron Santiago and Michaela Ternasky-Holland push the boundaries of what is possible at the edge of technology and experience. Their works, both independently and together, leverage generative AI, motion capture, virtual reality, 360 cinematography, projection mapping, volumetrics and a host of other tools to expand human perspectives across lines of culture, ability and lived experience. In this session, they join forces to lead us on a deep dive into what's possible in this emerging field using their own award-winning creative works as a lens.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has the potential to shape almost everything in the world of human experience. But what's real and what's myth? What's ready for market and what's hype? The field is emerging so quickly that anyone's perspective could help shape the future - and this includes you. Mary and Jake will stock the fishbowl with some of our most respected experts, but in this participative session, attendees are encouraged to tag out an expert and give their own perspectives!
