SUMMARY:VES Germany - Munich - LED wall with Real & Virtual Lighting Synchronization
DESCRIPTION:LED wall and real lighting meets CG lights\nJoin us for a VES meetup as we visit K5 Lux AI for a live demo of Illumina Twin\, a tool that synchronises real and virtual lighting in virtual production. \nBy automatically coordinating the lighting of the physical foreground with the virtual background\, it helps streamline workflows on the VP stage and opens up new possibilities for collaboration between lighting\, VFX and virtual production teams. We’ll get an inside look at how the system can accelerate on-set processes\, support VFX already in pre-production and capture lighting data for further use in post-production. \n🍻🍕 After the demo\, stay for beer\, pizza and relaxed conversations about virtual production\, VFX workflows and the future of our craft. \nThursday / March 19th\, 2026 / from 6 – 9 PM\nK5 Lux AI GmbH / Konradinstraße 4\, 81543 Munich / U-Bahn U1 Candidplatz \n(This event is in-person only\, there will be no livestream) \n\nFor non-members: Please RSVP here \nFor VES members:RSVP below👇👇👇\nIf you don’t see the RSVP Button below\, you have to log into your VES Account!

SUMMARY:VES Megabrain & ICE.ART - Panel Talk BEYOND VFX
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nTalking About AI Ethics Isn’t Optional — It’s Our Compass. \nIn the age of artificial intelligence\, ethics is no longer a side note — it is the foundation. More than ever\, we must be open\, transparent\, and willing to talk about the implications of the tools we create and use. AI is not just the elephant in the room; it is the unknown future that is already unfolding. If we do not actively challenge the way we think\, question our assumptions\, and evolve our values\, we risk being shaped by technology instead of shaping it ourselves. The conversation about ethics in AI is not optional — it is the compass guiding us toward a future worth living in.\nJoin us for an important and insightful panel talk\, and contribute to the change we all need to shape together.\nDate: November the 26th (Wednesday)\nTime: 9:00 am PT / 12:00 pm EST / 6:00 pm CET\nRSVP here: Zoom Webinar\n\nThis event is open to the public\, and while it’s not exclusively for members\, you will need to log in to RSVP (zoom link above). Space is limited to the first 100 attendees\, so be sure to register and reserve your spot today!\n  \nDR.

She focused on the ethical and epistemic challenges and requirements regarding human-AI interaction with a particular focus on healthcare conversational agents used in the context of mental health and well-being. She was also involved in projects focusing on the public legitimacy of digital research methods\, the challenges and requirements of the use of digital unstructured data in health research and the use of technologies in shared decision-making. In her research\, she aims to bridge the normative\, theoretical methods with empirical research. \nHer research output includes 15 peer-reviewed articles and three book chapters\, regular presentations at national and international conferences\, and interdisciplinary outreach activities. Her publications span leading journals in biomedical ethics\, including American Journal of Bioethics\, forthcoming chapters from the Oxford University Press\, and commentary for the Hastings Center Report.
