I first met Tali while looking after her amazing daughter, Rani. Even then, I sensed that Tali had a truly unique way of seeing and engaging with the world; something about her presence sparked my curiosity. Over the years, I’ve come to know her as a remarkable woman – a philosopher, a thinker, a true seeker, a healer, and a deeply inspiring person. As AI technology evolved, so did her work and research. She began creating powerful visuals, animations, and videos using AI, and the results were not only stunning but also profoundly moving. It gave me an even deeper understanding, not just intellectually, but viscerally, of what she’s trying to express, and the frequency she’s working to channel and share. I was thrilled to interview her and talk about her approach to AI, creativity, and mindfulness. Here’s our conversation:

Can you tell us a bit about your background, how you started working in mindfulness and philosophy, and what the practice means to you?

Sure. I am a philosopher and consciousness researcher, and the founder of the “Beyond the Mind” approach. For over twenty years, I’ve been guiding people through processes of healing, exploration, and creation. I have always been fascinated by the subtle boundary between thought, experience, and awareness, which has led to my deep connection to mindfulness practices and a philosophical understanding of life. For me, mindfulness is not a technique but a way of living – with attentiveness, precision, and a willingness to meet the moment as it is.

What inspired you to explore the world of art and animation? Have you always had a creative side?

The truth is, I didn’t come from the world of art at all. For many years, I worked with philosophy and consciousness studies, and art felt like something that belonged to others. My encounter with artificial intelligence was nothing short of a miracle: suddenly, I was given “hands” I never had before, and through them, a whole world of images and emotions poured out. AI released my creativity, opened gates I didn’t know existed, and turned me into an artist.

How do you integrate artificial intelligence into your artistic process? What tools or platforms do you use?

I call what I do the Art of Ideas. I create with AI through philosophical texts, emotional experiences, and inner sensations. From these sources, a living dialogue emerges between word and image, between myself and the intelligence. I work with tools such as Midjourney, Pika, Luma, Suno, ElevenLabs, and others – each of them allows me to translate an abstract idea into something tangible. Sometimes I begin with a philosophical text I’ve written, and from there a creative journey unfolds. The process is always a dialogue between idea, word, image, and myself as an artist and explorer.

Do you feel there’s a connection between mindfulness practice and your creative process with AI?

Absolutely. For me, mindfulness is the ability to be fully present with whatever arises, without clinging. This is exactly how I work with AI: I bring an intention, listen to what the tool reflects, and then respond again. It’s a dialogical process, much like meditation – a delicate movement between control and surrender.

What’s your perspective on the changes AI is bringing to the art world? Do you see it as a threat to human artists, or an opportunity?

I see it as a tremendous opportunity. Yes, it challenges old boundaries, but it also opens up new possibilities. Those who see art as an expression of humanity will find that AI actually amplifies this: it frees us from the technical struggle and brings us back to the essence – the idea, the emotion, the story.

To what extent do you see art and technology as tools for spirituality and deeper inner exploration?

For me, art and technology are gateways to spirit. When I create with animation or immersive projections, I’m not just “showing” something – I’m inviting consciousness to move. Technology is not the enemy of the spirit but a new instrument to touch it. It can become a mirror of the soul, illuminate memories and open pathways for inner and collective connection.

How do you envision the future of art combining with artificial intelligence?

I envision a future where art and AI are no longer separate fields. The artist will be more like a “choreographer of consciousness” – creating spaces where image, sound, and awareness are interwoven. It will be living art, fluid and ever-changing, unfolding between human and tool, and between human and human.

What message would you like to share with readers interested in the intersection of spirituality, creativity, and technology?

I want to say: do not be afraid. Spirit is not lost within technology. On the contrary, it finds new ways to reveal itself. Those who listen inwardly and create with an open heart will discover that technology is a partner on the journey, not a barrier.

Tali’s words are both illuminating and invigorating – a refreshing reminder that even as the world accelerates at an extraordinary pace, there’s still space to be fully human. Through her lens, AI becomes a pathway to presence, creativity, and deeper connection. This conversation was a breath of fresh air and a glimpse of the beautiful things still to come.
