On October 30, MTL connect: Montreal’s Digital Week dedicates a day to the theme Culture & Creativity. As artificial intelligence reshapes modes of creation, memory, and transmission, artists, thinkers, and innovators reflect on the impact of these technologies on our understanding of identity, art, and collective narratives.
Opening Talk: Moridja Kitenge Banza
Multidisciplinary artist Moridja Kitenge Banza will open the day with an exclusive talk on the tensions between human creativity and generative intelligences. Through a sensitive reflection, he asks: What becomes of the author when the tool creates? Who holds memory in a world of data?
