Watch Now: Grimes, Matt Zien + Ben Relles at the LA Summit

Art, fandom, and why the future of cutting-edge art needs centuries-old philosophy.

Almost exactly one week ago, we gathered at our inaugural LA Summit for a full day of conversation and exploration into the most unexpected collisions between AI and creativity across disciplines.

Our opening session featured Grimes and Matt Zien, led by Ben Relles, in a raw, intimate conversation as they shared their creative process - and wrestled with where to speed up, slow down, or create frameworks on the fly that encompass a human, and moral philosophy. From their new project THE TUTORIAL to the making of Artificial Angels, they unpacked the philosophies, tensions, and messy experimentation irl our stage.
