Gibbes Distinguished Lecture Series presents Danny McBride + Beeple
Event Description
Charleston is a thriving cultural hub, and we are excited to spend an evening with two artistic visionaries based in the Lowcountry and working at the edge of digital and media arts. This year we are excited to explore the next frontier of art: AI and its impact on visual media. Danny McBride, actor, comedian, screenwriter, director, producer, and founder of Rough House Pictures, will be interviewed by Mike Winklemann, AKA Beeple, a digital artist and graphic designer widely recognized as a pioneer in the realm of digital art and NFTs. Together, these two local, internationally-acclaimed artists will discuss their work and creative processes and how AI, along with other technological innovations, is shaping film and digital art today.
