Step inside artist David Szauder's mind, where strange, extravagantly dressed characters live in an ever-changing opera. In this visually stunning talk, he presents a digitally rewired world — part AI-generated dreamscape, part inner theater — and probes the line between artist and algorithm. (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 9, 2025)
