In 2025 AI is everywhere. Culture is adapting, but the adaptation is not evenly distributed. The creative industries are one of the first areas to face major disruption, artists being the canaries in the coalmine for the wave of change that’s coming for everyone.
In this talk Eric Drass will contextualise the “AI revolution” within the broader history of art and investigate the tension between AI, art, culture and authenticity.

Eric Drass is a visual artist who has been exploring AI as a contributing factor to his paintings for more than five years, although his engagement with its implications on society and the individual goes wider than this. He studied psychology and philosophy at Oxford and set out on a PhD addressing cognitive psycholinguistics before committing himself to making art – as well as sense.
In recent years Eric has addressed audiences of all ages at venues as varied as the Royal Institution, Glastonbury Festival, programmes across the BBC and many specialist conferences. On May 31 he is giving an illustrated talk at Fringe Arts Bath 2025, in the context of an exhibition called Screenplay. For this event, he will put his own work as an artist at the centre of a discussion ranging across history and culture.
