After the Original

An evening at the intersection of art, technology, and business.

Innovation today is shaped by the interplay of human creativity, data, and AI systems. As technology reshapes how ideas are created, transformed, and scaled, questions around originality, authorship, ownership, and value creation are becoming increasingly relevant for companies.

At the Nagarro Art Forum 2026, we invite decision-makers from IT, digitalization, and business to explore one central question: Who owns innovation?

The evening brings together Georg Pummer’s exhibition "After the Original" and a keynote by digital law expert Katharina Bisset. Through contemporary art, expert insight, and personal exchange, we will explore why intellectual property is becoming a strategic business priority in the age of AI — not only as a matter of protection, but as a driver of innovation, responsibility, and competitive value.

• 5:30–6:00 pm | Reception, drinks & exhibition
• 6:00–7:00 pm | Welcome, keynote & moderated conversation
• From 7:00 pm | Exhibition, networking, food & drinks

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of art, ideas, and meaningful conversations at the Nagarro Hive in Vienna.

The exhibition

After the Original

In "After the Original," Austrian artist Georg Pummer explores the fragile nature of images and the inevitability of transience through a distinctive artistic language of preservation, distortion, and transformation.

His acrylic paintings are known for their striking video-like aesthetic, evoking digital image errors, screen glitches, pixelation, and fragmented displays. Carefully composed disruptions and distortions give his works an almost electronically generated appearance — while remaining deeply rooted in the craft of painting.

Georg’s visual language moves between reality and dream, familiarity and irritation. His works open a space for reflection on perception, originality, authorship, and the transformation of existing visual material into something new.
