Conscious Creation in the Age of AI Series
Guest Simon Haiduk 4/6 Generator
In this visually rich and deeply philosophical episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson sits down with multimedia artist Simon Haiduk to explore the intersection of art, technology, and soul in the age of AI. Known for his immersive meditation concerts that fuse digital painting, music, and animation, Simon shares how he’s integrating AI tools into his creative workflow - without sacrificing authenticity.
From the challenges of animating visionary art, to the ethics of using AI-generated content, to a conversation about what it really means to stay sovereign and connected to your inner voice, this conversation is equal parts practical and poetic. Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, or conscious creator navigating the evolving tech landscape, Simon’s unique perspective will spark your curiosity—and possibly your next creative breakthrough.
