The Hypothetical Image: Reading the Artifacts of Generative AI
How might we “read” the media produced by generative artificial intelligence? Eryk Salvaggio suggests we engage them as infographics: data visualisations of archives and datasets that strives for plausibility rather than expression or documentation.
In a presentation blending artistic research into images, video, and sound, Salvaggio will examine the ways artists can hijack the spectacle of AI to engage more critically with its politics and dangers of AI ordering the world on our behalf.
Eryk Salvaggio is a blend of artist, hacker and policy researcher interested in the social and cultural impacts of artificial intelligence. His work explores the creative misuse of AI and reflects on how AI changes our definitions of the human. His award-winning work has been exhibited on four continents, including The New Museum and SXSW. He is a researcher with the metaLab at Harvard University, a Tech Policy Press Fellow, and a visiting professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology (USA) in Humanities, Computing & Design.
The event is organized in collaboration with the Digital x Data Research Centre at London South Bank University.
