DESIGNING GRACIOUS FUTURES WITH AI



 




I wholeheartedly believe that the polarity of our current day provides an opportunity to find grace within ourselves.

To rise up to protect a future that serves all (of life) by prototyping new operating ecosystems for society and self that emulate the principles of nature.






LISANNE BUIK


I’m an artist-futurist and public speaker. I’m a researcher of, and outspoken advocate for ethical AI, and aligning emerging technologies to natural principles.

In my speculative installations, films, lectures and publications I combine emerging science with ancient wisdom to explore the shift from the age of the machine to a new age of symbiosis between living systems, the human bodymind, and technology.



SPEAKING

        I speak internationally at conferences and organisations. My talks dispel misconceptions and biases surrounding AI and empower audiences with tools for gracious AI navigation. They also act as catalysts for technological innovation and creativity within organizations. In today's ever-evolving landscape, adaptability is key. My mission is to inspire audiences to enact change from a place of wholeness and empowerment, emphasizing the importance of overcoming fear and control. References, examples and selected talks below.

CONSULTING

        I guide organizations to harness AI's potential for positive change. Asking: how can your organization achieve new levels of resilience and contribue to the regeneration of our planet? My studio GraceŒS helps organizations align with the new ethics, cultures, stories, and innovations that fit a new era. My clients range from governments and healthcare brands to cultural institutions, wildlife NGO’s and creative agencies. The studio facilitates entire projects from creative concept to execution.

CREATING

           My studio is an amorphous and diverse pool of international creatives. Together we carry projects from concept to execution, working confidently across a range of skills and media. Whether designing to a client’s brief or developing self-initiated projects, we apply the same meticulous attention to research, process, and detail.

MENTORING    

        I love mentoring the next generation of creators and innovators. I have developed an innovation process to help future-forward projects POP. Reach out for more information about POP residency.
