Everything you need to know about the “now” in the creative industry in terms of rates, pipelines and what clients expect. And yes, also a close look at how new technologies influence and perhaps challenge the older and more traditional art systems.
Let’s talk about the current industry trends in this panel hosted by Motion Hatch.
Hayley Akins will be joined by Franco Ballester and Vincent Schwenk for what’s bound to be a very eye-opening conversation!






Franco Ballester is the co-founder of Estúpido Estudio, a Buenos Aires-based creative studio. As a producer and director, he plays a key role in shaping the studio’s creative vision and overseeing its productions, bringing together creativity, strategy, and execution across a diverse range of projects.
Vincent Schwenk is a Munich based 3D artist and designer creating CGI, motion design and colorful digital sculptures. Working across commercial, conceptual and live show projects, his work explores abstract realities through texture, motion and playful experimentation.
He has collaborated with clients including Apple, Google, Nike, Microsoft, Spotify, Samsung, UGG, Tylko and Peggy Gou, producing everything from brand campaigns to large scale live visuals such as the Vegas Sphere show for Peggy Gou.
His work has been exhibited and presented internationally, with talks and exhibitions at OFFF Barcelona, Adobe MAX, Sonar, Forward Festival, Dutch Design Week, Bangkok Biennale and Playgrounds Rotterdam, among others, and has been featured in It’s Nice That, Stash, Plain Magazine and Surface/Arctic Volume.
