A three-day experimental festival explores the intersection of digital innovation, AI, and contemporary art.
London’s Southbank Centre is set to host 'Creative Intelligence' from 11-13 September 2026, a major three-day takeover designed to explore the rapidly evolving relationship between human creativity and technology. The event serves as a hub for experimentation, bringing together artists, technologists, and thinkers to debate how digital innovation and Artificial Intelligence are fundamentally reshaping the modern world.
The festival features a dense program of art installations, live performances, and music, alongside practical demos and intellectual debates. It aims to provide a platform for both established and emerging creators to showcase how they are utilizing new tools to push the boundaries of traditional mediums. This takeover is part of a broader month of significant cultural activity in the capital, coinciding with other major events like the London Design Festival and Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s 'Repercussions' at the Barbican.
Attendees can expect a highly interactive environment where the focus is on 'experimentation' rather than just finished products. By integrating debate with live performance, the Southbank Centre positions itself at the forefront of the conversation regarding the ethical and creative implications of AI in the arts. Whether through digital innovation demos or high-energy musical sets, the event promises to be a comprehensive look at the future of the creative industries in the UK and beyond.
For local creatives, this event provides a critical look at how AI and digital tools are shifting the industry landscape, offering networking opportunities with tech-forward artists and industry leaders.
