Catalyst: AI Digital Transformation in the Arts Forum
In the midst of rapid digital transformation, artists and arts organizations are harnessing technology to expand horizons, foster connections and redefine boundaries. Luxe Fête designed, produced and led the branding of “Catalyst: Digital Transformation in the Arts” for our client, Knight Foundation. At Catalyst, leaders at the forefront of innovation considered the implications of digital transformation in the arts through the lenses of sustainability, ethics and exploration and identify opportunities to enhance the creation, application and dissemination of art using AI.
In addition to creating the branding for the event, Luxe Fête designed immersive experiences that highlighted the sustainable use of AI in the arts. Artificial Intelligence Immersive experiences included: (1) Cable-Driven Robots that were dynamically choreographed to a live custom violin composition, in which robots seemingly floated through mid-air; (2) “Floating” art surrounded the space; (3) The use of AI in gamification and, (4) A series of conversations with one of the world’s most advanced social robots.
Notable speakers, artists and attendees included:
Thom Collins, Director and President of the Barnes Foundation
Craig Webb, Principal Designer and Architect at Frank Gehry Partners
Marco Brambilla a London-based artist known for his elaborate recontextualizations of popular and found imagery, as well as his pioneering use of digital imaging and AI technologies in time-based media art.
Leo Castañeda who premiered, Machine Mangrove Gaming Installation, a new videogame episode and transmedia works expanding Latin American Surrealism for the digital age.
Guggenheim Artist Stephanie Dinkins explored whether an artist and a social robot build a relationship over time and tested this question through a series of videotaped interviews.
Dr. Madeline Gannon, a multidisciplinary designer blending techniques in art, design, computer science and robotics to forge new futures for human-robot relations. Known as the “robot whisperer,” Gannon specializes in convincing robots to do things they were never intended to do.

An incredible night at the Mayfair Hotel and Gardens — installing the new board and celebrating the legacy law firms of Miami who continue to shape its future.
Favorite moments: my team surprising me with Haitian food sent by the hotel staff (thank you for sharing!), letting loose and dancing with the client at the end of a successful night, and, of course, my white gloves. 🤍 #Let’sParty
Meeting with our client and a site visit at the iconic @thebathclub_ — but first, coffee. ☕️ Celebrating 100 years, this Miami treasure feels as fresh and timeless as ever. #TimelessSophistication #MiamiIcon #MiamiEventPlanner #MiamiEventDesigner #MiamiEventProfs #thebathclub #miamiproductionagency #miamieventproducer

✨ Breaking bread. Pouring wine. Creating connection. Cicero would be proud.✨
Pinch me—this is work?! Closing the week with an incredible tasting at @creativeedgeparties , I’m reminded that food and wine are never just a menu—they are the medium. With every plate served and every intentional glass poured, we are setting the stage for an evening where conversation flows, friendships are forged, and guests leave with an enduring reminder of the impact of what we do.

✨ Island Magic Unlocked ✨ Just wrapped an unforgettable escape at Lovango Resort & Beach Club @lovangoresort —a nine‑acre slice of paradise a mere 10‑minute ferry ride from St. John and St. Thomas. This isn’t just a dreamy retreat—it’s a canvas for beautiful social events, corporate retreats, and full‑island buyouts. Elevated design, private island energy, and that perfect blend of laid-back luxury and polished hospitality.

No Kings Day.
No crowns, no coronations—just clarity. Here’s a young Barack Obama, then-president of the Harvard Law Review, speaking without notice on the need for diversity in law. Power isn’t inherited; it’s earned—and shared. 🇺🇸
