Wheaton College Massachusetts

AI, Artists, and the Future of Images—Presented by the Wheaton Institute for Interdisciplinary Humanities (WIIH)
2024-10-09 15:30 (America/New_York) | Massachusetts
Vincent Warne, (writer, artist, and current Managing Editor of the Millennium Film Journal whose work concerns the history and future of film and the moving image), gives an introduction to Vilém Flusser, and thoughts on AI art. More than any other medium, AI text-to-image synthesis lays bare the truth that all art is really curation. An artist absorbs influences from the world—from experiences, memories, other artworks—and synthesizes them into a new form via a medium. AI images work in the same way.

Location TBD.
