Case chronology
Electric South convenes AI and immersive-media governance discussion
The organizer’s retrospective described ten participants from art, technology, and research meeting for two days at Diemersfontein to discuss cultural ownership, local knowledge, and ethics of digital representation. Meta supported the event.

Electric South held a three-day interdisciplinary gathering in Johannesburg; its account says participants collectively developed seven principles and guidelines for AI in creative practice.
