From inspiration to: what can you do tomorrow?
In Culture Shift, you hear an international case in each episode. Think innovations around AI, immersive experiences, gamification, and data-driven work. How do other organizations approach this? And most importantly: what benefits does it bring them?
Host Anic van Damme and sidekick Splinter Chabot discuss this with a foreign pioneer & a Dutch creator or professional. Together, they apply the example to the Dutch context.
This not only provides inspiration but also concrete tools. Because besides the story, you also hear:
- where you can start
- what you should (still) avoid doing
- and how to take small first steps toward your own project
Episode 1: Talking to the gods
For the first time, visitors can have conversations with statues in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles in France. Twenty iconic statues of gods that have been there for hundreds of years come to life. AI enables a two-way conversation between the audience and the collection. What if Apollo talks back?
In this episode, you’ll hear from Paul Chaine (Palace of Versailles) about how this project came to life. And from Marijn Alexander de Jong (Urland) about how he works with exec.DEUS on an installation where visitors kneel before an AI.
Together, they explore what AI can mean for audience engagement, why the physical ritual remains so important, and why waiting to experiment is really not an option anymore.
