Brace yourself for a bit of controversy as physicist-turned-AI pioneer, Johannes Stelzer, unveils his unconventional approach to problem-solving and business innovation – drawing from physics, neuroscience and AI to explore creativity and the healing potential of “digital therapeutics”...enhanced with psychedelics! He gives us a glimpse into the power of AI to simplify complex problems, inspire groundbreaking art, and upgrade decision-making by reading minds to unlock human potential beyond the limits of imagination.
Co-Founder of Lunar Ring: Physicist Johannes Stelzer spent over a decade researching the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence at the cutting-edge Max Planck Institute. This eventually led to him co-founding the German AI art collective Lunar Ring, where he continues to study innovative forms of creativity and collaboration between humans and AI.
Co-Creator of The World’s Largest Outdoor AI Artwork: The Lunar Ring Collective launched a monumental creation commissioned by the state ministry of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, for the Einheits-EXPO2020 – an event marking 30 years of German reunification through a month-long outdoor exhibition that allowed people to immerse themselves in a unique art piece shaped by machine intelligence and live-streamed across the globe.
AI-Psychedelic Researcher: Johannes is building an immersive lab with 360-degree sound, body tracking, and AI-generated visual stimuli for psychedelics-enhanced therapy. The research will explore the links between the brain’s information processing capacities and new ways of understanding consciousness.
