We staan voor gigantische uitdagingen: klimaatproblemen, ongelijkheid, eenzaamheid en polarisatie. Als we blijven doen wat we altijd deden, verandert er niets. Het is tijd voor verandering, maar hoe? De Verbeeldingswerkplaats laat zien hoe we met de kracht van verbeelding systemen kunnen doorbreken, vooruit kunnen denken en samen praktische oplossingen kunnen ontwerpen voor de meest urgente vraagstukken van onze stad.
The “Algorithmic Cultures” research group presents: Speculative Gaze: Reading the Algorithmic Image. In this seminar we will engage with the AI-generated image as a site for layered interpretation, inquiry, and cross-referential research. How do we see an image that isn’t solely of human origin? Each month, we will “read” three AI-generated images, analyzing their ambiguity and generative potential by linking them with theories, artworks, literature, film, sound, and more. Through this process, we ask: What networks of meaning arise from images crafted by algorithms? Session Dates are 16 January, 13 February, 13 March and 10 April. All sessions will take place from 5 pm to 7 pm in the Sandberg Auditorium on the 3rd floor of the BC building at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. The seminar is open to everyone; students/alumni of Rietveld/Sandberg and people with an interest in research. Registration for the whole seminar or for individual sessions: eventix.shop/euxdgq4j
