Nordic Lights - Scandinavian AI Scene Showcase + Q&A
A showcase of the Nordic AI scene: creators and companies from the north show what they are working on and then take questions from the room. It is a chance to see a market that built its production differently from the Polish one, with different funding, a different attitude to risk and a different pace of adopting tools. Useful for anyone thinking about co-production, about going abroad, or simply curious how the same work is done elsewhere.
- Creator and specialist introductions
- A company demo from the Nordic scene
- Audience questions
Who's on stage
Billy Boman
Founder · Producer
Founder of Billy Boman AI Productions, a boutique studio built around AI-driven filmmaking, which describes its job as helping brands move at the speed of culture through film, advertising and social content. AI production partner on Lenovo's FIFA World Cup 2026 work and AI post-production partner on the Alaska Airlines Super Bowl 2026 spot, with campaigns for Coca-Cola, Unilever, Universal Music Group, Google DeepMind and Ballantine's behind him.

Markus & Tanja Laukkanen
Artists · Filmmakers
Emerging AI artists and co-founders of Unmöglich.AI, a Finnish-German duo who create whimsical micro-series set in Impossible Worlds, filled with unlikely heroes, magical creatures, quirky villains and strange adventures. Their work has been commissioned by Anamana, Kweeks and DreamFlare, and they have produced AI short films for Fairground, distributed on FAST TV platforms in the United States. Together they combine storytelling, world-building and AI-powered filmmaking to bring imaginative universes to life for audiences around the world.
Edmond Yang
Artist · Creative Director · Founder
Visual artist from Oslo and an award-winning AI artist, working across design, visual communication and UX since 2001, when he set up his own studio, first as Yangmedia and today as Edmond Yang Enterprises. He is a creative partner to the generative platforms themselves, among them Runway, Luma AI, Pika, Kling AI, Hailuo, Freepik and Viggle, and a co-founder of AIAIAI, a Norwegian AI studio he started in 2024.
His route there ran through broadcast and advertising: bumpers and on-air graphics at never.no through the 2000s, then online campaigns for Telenor, SAS and Nike at Dinamo, identity and motion work for IBM, Telenor and Bama at Gyro, and the Helly Hansen brand online at Bates, alongside Microsoft. Between 2019 and 2023 he ran XVR, a studio producing virtual tours for the property market, and co-founded the agency Oslo Digital.
What runs through all of it is a habit of testing a new technology as an artist and then asking what it sells: he has taken the same route through AI art, NFTs and web3, and outside media he has built ventures of his own, from an arctic seafood supplement brand with its own plant in Røst to a men's accessories label handmade in Italy.
Marcus Grip
Filmmaker · Educator
Swedish-born, London-based filmmaker, creative entrepreneur and Education & Content Lead at Wonder Studios. With 20 years of experience across film, branded content, live production and digital storytelling, he has built a career around helping ideas move from concept to screen. His work sits at the intersection of human storytelling and machine creativity: at Wonder Studios, Marcus leads education and content, helping creators understand, experiment with, and push the boundaries of new AI tools and workflows for filmmaking. He is also the founder of The Journey and the creator of Made with AI, a show that blends real footage with AI-generated co-hosts, and his film The Truth took second place at a British film festival AI hackathon in 2025.
