Sept. 2025. Hosted by CODAworx and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities in Washington DC, the international CODAsummit Art + Tech + Place 2025 brought together artists, curators, commissioners, and technologists to discuss art and technology innovation in the public realm. Gill Gatfield presented the transformational framework: AI²AR – combining Ancestral Intelligence and AI (AI²) with Augmented Reality (AR) to shape new dimensions in sculpture. This creative direction centres materials, instincts, memories, and senses as conduits between past and future, formulating digital-physical art encounters that empower through participation. Presented in the architecturally renown Kogood Cradle at the Arena Stage D.C., Gill Gatfield's Artist Showcase was sponsored by GCI General Glass International.
