The pop-up AI art gallery at the Chelsea Factory doubled as a gin cocktail bar, drawing a glamorous crowd of cultural tastemakers, celebrities, and industry innovators, such as Sophie Collé, Nneka Julia, Roze Traore, and Fabritzio Villalpando. Guests enjoyed artfully crafted Bombay Sapphire cocktails inspired by Baz Luhrmann and the start of the new season, like the 'Iona Martini,' 'Sunrise and Tonic,' and 'Petal Collins.'

A highlight of the launch party was a panel discussion between Baz Luhrmann and Ai-Da, moderated by Tim Marlow, CEO of the Design Museum. The conversation featured Luhrmann's signature charm as he interacted with Ai-Da, and Ai-Da showcased her poetic prowess in response to questions about AI and emotions. Overall, the Saw This, Made This Installation proved to be an unforgettable evening for New York's elite, blending the worlds of art, technology, and cocktails for an exclusive experience.
