The Future of Human Expression: An Insider's View

In this third edition, we sit down with Iva Troj, PhD, award-winning contemporary artist, researcher, and creator of the iconic Halo Masterpiece, for an inside look at how human creativity adapts in the age of artificial intelligence.

(The Halo Infinite Masterpiece at Hatch House during the previous Soup Talks using Iva's AI Visualizer "Art in Your Space" tool)

From exhibiting at premier global venues like the Saatchi Gallery and The Louvre to combining classical Renaissance techniques with a background in cognitive science and information strategy, Iva will unpack where our human advantage truly lies as algorithms become faster and more generative.

We will have Dr Skyla Herod, PhD, (Chief Science Officer at Hatch - coming all the way from Los Angeles!), providing a Neuroscientific perspective on the conversation.

What is it?

Soup Talks is a lunchtime series where we invite really interesting people to share their story with the community. It's part talk, part meal, all fun. Think of it as a recipe: take one great guest, add a room full of curious people, simmer for an hour, and see what happens.

Watch the recap video of Soup Talks #1 :

Why soup?

Because nothing gets people talking like a warm bowl in their hands. At every event, we serve up the actual recipe of our guest speaker, so you're not just hearing their story; you're tasting a piece of it too.

The recipe, roughly

  • An unfiltered story
  • A cup of good questions from the room
  • 1 bowl of soup, inspired by the speaker
  • A curated group of interesting people

Come hungry. Come curious. First come, first served (literally).
