SLEEK Talk: Creative Code – Shaping the Future of Digital Expression On August 5, I had the pleasure of talking to Fabian Vogelsteller (founder of LUKSO) and Kat Banas (director of transformation at Universal Everything) about a topic that still often sounds theoretical but could soon become reality for many creative professionals: How can blockchain technologies enable new forms of ownership, visibility, and independence beyond centralized platforms? We talked about digital identities, tools that artists, designers, and creators can use to manage and monetize their work themselves, and how creative work needs to change when technological infrastructures are taken into account. With LUKSO, Fabian brings a vision that aims to give creative people back control and context over their work. Kat impressively demonstrated how digital forms of expression are evolving – and why transformation must be thought of not only in technological terms, but also in cultural terms. A big thanks to both speakers and the audience for their keen interest, thoughtful questions, and open discussion. This wasn't a glimpse into the distant future, but an invitation to rethink creative autonomy—and to actively shape it. #Creativity #SohoHouse #LUKSO #UniversalEverything #Innovation
