I spent the month of November teaching in Guangzhou, mainland China at GDIP through a partnership with Montserrat College of Art. I was honored to be invited as a keynote speaker at an international conference about how AI is affecting the creative industry. 

In my presentation, I spoke about how AI can serve as a tool for the creative process, but cannot substitute the experiences, feelings, and memories that inform the creative mind and practice. To create this presentation I interviewed Bard, an AI, who gave me some thought-provoking insight on the topic of AI substituting humans in the creative industry. 

Guangzhou is famously a textile production center, with perhaps the largest textile market globally. It is also famous for its fantastic food, being the home of Dim Sum, and Cantonese cuisine. People flock from all over the country and the world to experience unforgettable meals.
