In collaboration with OpenAI, the event aims to educate and entertain guests by engaging in meaningful discussions with industry leaders providing insights into their unique experiences using AI and its role as a complement to creativity.
The event will take place on Tuesday, June 20, 2023, from 9am to 5pm and feature a vibrant mix of panel discussions, case studies and an artist gallery showcasing real-world applications and demonstrations of AI's contribution to the creative process opening up a creative dialogue that aims to inspire and energize the industry.
“We are thrilled to host AI LIVE in Cannes in collaboration with OpenAI,” notes Rebecca Niles, Managing Director at ArtClass. “The immense potential of AI to expand creative capabilities, revolutionize storytelling, and open doors we weren’t aware existed, is something to be excited about.”
Featured artists for the event include: GRAMMY-nominated multimedia & digital artist Poppy, Acclaimed Director Paul Trillo, XR and AI Futurist, Don Allen Stevenson III, XR Art Director & Co-Founder, Oraar Studio, Josephine Miller, Director of AI at Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Nathan Shipley, VP, Creative Director at Edelman, Alexia Adana, Creative Director Chad Nelson and Director and Co-Founder of Bell & Whistle, Souki Mehdaoui.

Invisible North Expands Sui’s Brand World Into A Hyper-Real Gaming Universe
Invisible North (IN), a global creative and marketing agency, developed a comprehensive multi-platform ad and brand campaign for the launch of SuiPlay0X1, the first-of-its-kind handheld gaming console with native web3 capabilities. It supports a wide range of PC games, as well as new AAA titles developed using Sui technology. The launch coincided with Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), where Mysten Labs, the original contributor to the Sui blockchain, kicked off presales for the handheld gaming device. The campaign, spanning online activations with real-world events, was designed to drum up excitement for this digital gaming breakthrough in the lead-up to its official 2025 release.

Partnering with YGG, IN produced sponsorship zones for an epic gaming tournament where community and competition collided, giving gamers the chance to win a coveted SuiPlay0X1. IN also orchestrated a standout presence for Sui at the KBW... Read More
