At SXSW, I discussed the potential of the metaverse to revolutionize learning by creating immersive and interactive environments. I highlighted how these environments can enhance retention through active research, hands-on projects, and collaboration. I shared experiences from OMAIA, where ancient Rome was rebuilt with the help of renowned researchers and professors. Students can interact with these environments through activities like escape games and immersive quizzes using avatars. I also presented future developments, including AI-powered virtual avatars and smart mentors for personalized learning. I demonstrated how avatars can boost self-confidence and combat discrimination and bias. I provided a sneak peek into Nova's work, offering a glimpse of the future of education

At Harvard's Night of Ideas, William James Hall, I discussed how the metaverse, AI, and digital environments are revolutionizing education, citing OMAIA's project-based learning in ancient Rome and virtual science labs as examples. I introduced smart avatar mentors and emphasized personalized learning. Arnaud also stressed AI's impact on art, advocating for active collaboration and experiential engagement with new media art. I showcased my artwork "Prometheus the Dawn Bringer," inviting viewers to explore hidden experiences within, symbolizing the limitless possibilities of art. I enthusiastically proposed that our era marks a digital renaissance.

At the French Library, I delved into the fusion of art with immersive technologies and AI, discussing its philosophical implications in my talk, "The Impact of New Technologies (AI) on Art." I explored how AI challenges traditional art concepts and the evolving role of artists collaborating with machines. I emphasized utilizing AI as a creative ally rather than a replacement for human abilities. Additionally, I discussed immersive and interactive art forms like new media and mixed reality, citing examples such as the metaverse and palimpsestic experiences found within artworks.
