Unveiling Heart Space: Exploring the Future of Art, AI, and Human-Centered Innovation at When Worlds Converge
Experience the future of art, AI, and human-centered innovation at the When Worlds Converge event during Toronto Tech Week 2026. This flagship event, presented by Schulich Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Pursuits Inc, and Demo Room, will unveil Heart Space, a groundbreaking immersive digital artwork by renowned Canadian-Korean artist Krista Kim. Heart Space, known for its exploration of digital consciousness, transforms participants' heartbeats into dynamic colors and waveforms, creating an immersive and emotional experience.
Heart Space is the world's first collaborative AI-generative immersive artwork driven by real-time biometric data. It offers a unique perspective on how emerging technologies can shape perception, communication, and human experience. The event will also showcase the technology behind the experience from Tenbeo, a biotechnology company based in Brussels, highlighting the intersection of art, technology, and human consciousness.
A featured panel discussion will bring together leaders from art, technology, entrepreneurship, and digital trust to explore how human-centered innovation can influence the future of AI, identity, and human agency. The event aims to spark conversations around the urgent questions raised by AI and its impact on identity, trust, and human agency.
Guests can look forward to an evening filled with engaging discussions, networking opportunities, and a curated after-party experience designed to unite Toronto's innovation and creative communities. While the full Heart Space exhibition is set to launch in 2027, this event offers a rare early glimpse into the work and the vision behind this ambitious art and technology experience.
Supported by a coalition of partners, including Silver Sponsors Desjardins and Audrey S. Hellyer Charitable Foundation, the event promises to be a defining experience of Toronto Tech Week 2026. Registration for the event is now open, offering a unique opportunity to explore the future of art, AI, biometrics, identity, and digital trust in a collaborative and innovative setting.
