Talk

The following week, you are warmly invited to join us for the inaugural episode of Seven Minutes in Heaven, a series of monthly conversational salons at Cloud Seven hosted by Stan Van Rompaey and Anna Lancry, in which we invite guest speakers to bring a seven-minute excerpt of video, sound or text to be discussed and critiqued.

This evening, you will be guided through the thickets of portrait rights and data protection in art and pop culture, the public character of online spaces, and AI laws (or lack thereof) by legal connoisseurs Anna de Wandeler and Jens Van Lathem. They will be joined by artist Loïs Soleil, whose archival documentation of Tinder profiles plunged her headfirst into the horrors of navigating the law, which often feels obscure and distant, and its fraught relationship with artistic expression. In other words, they will provide guidelines on how not to get sued as an artist – in a technological landscape shifting so quickly that it leaves many gasping for air.
