The forces that vision machines serve, and how to resist them.
In the final session of the Vision Machines series co-presented by the Power Institute and the MCA, join researchers André Dao, Gary Foley and Thao Phan as they reflect on how machine vision systems operate within ensembles, reinforcing power and limiting freedom.
Through presentations and a discussion moderated by program curators Andrew Brooks and Nick Croggon, they consider: how do people, places and technology shape the way we see – and are seen?
The night concludes with Stable Confusion by Worlds Only and Junior Major – a live performance combining sound and real-time visuals generated with improvised AI-disrupting code.
Tickets are sold per session and include entry to all current exhibitions.
Adult $35 | MCA Member $15 | Concession $28 | Student $20
