While the debut of AI technology has produced anxiety in the creative world, "AI NOPE" walks through AI's follies, its weaknesses, and how our art, text, and publications can strategically focus on projects AI cannot effectively do. Raymond Biesinger is a Montréal-based illustrator, artist, and author. He has completed more than one thousand assignments for magazines, newspapers, and ad agencies since 2002. His 2025 Drawn & Quarterly book 9 Times My Work Has Been Ripped Off: An Informal Self-Defence Guide for Independent Creatives explores real-life instances (and responses) of wage theft and copyright theft in the creative world. 11:45 am: AI NOPE with Raymond Biesinger Centre culturel Georges-Vanier Salle Desjardins, 2nd floor 2450 rue Workman Montreal, Quebec H3J 1L8 General information here!
