On 27 and 28 June, ReCNTR, Security Vision, Dataunion, Duke University, Framer Framed and INC invite you to the two-day symposium 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯/𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳. The symposium features talks and discussions that explore the transformations induced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the interplay of power, knowledge and images. Includes talks by a number of artists participating in the Framer Framed exhibition 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺? 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴.
𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯/𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 focuses on the unprecedented possibilities of AI in generating ‘synthetic vision’ (the ability to “see” algorithmically) and ‘synthetic image generation’ (the ability to create new images through prompts). These transformations affect three key dimensions of the image – ‘image-truth’, ‘image-evidence’ and ‘image-labour’.
𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯/𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 brings together scholars working with artistic or multimodal methods and artists whose work is approached from a research perspective. This interdisciplinary approach aims to explore how multiple regimes of knowledge production (conceptual, visual, procedural/code based) can complement a critical exploration of the issues at stake.
𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯/𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 is co-convened by Francesco Ragazzi, Donatella della Ratta, Rocco Bellanova and Rebecca Stein. and Supported by ReCNTR, Security Vision project, DataUnion project, Duke University and Framer Framed.
