Join us for an enchanting discussion of avatar artwork. This artwork by UMass Chan’s Dr. Julie LeMoine, exists at the crossroads of game engines, animation, and includes generative AI and voice AI. These avatars are a multi-modal celebration, supporting diversity and bringing inclusive, co-designed beauty to their work.

Come to a brief talk at 4pm, learn about the avatars' jobs and be captivated as Dr. LeMoine engages in conversation with GenAI avatars about their jobs. Then, head next door to the Lamar Soutter Library to see the exhibit. We look forward to sharing this unique exploration with you!
