How can we shift the way technology sees — and how we see technology?
This one-day symposium brings together artists, researchers and technologists, including Michael Salu and Planetary Portals, to explore how creative practices can challenge and critically reflect on the power of AI and data-driven technologies. From reimagining lost histories, to disrupting surveillance systems with experimental photography, to exposing the logic behind machine-generated images, the day focuses on tactics that resist control and open space for new stories, voices and futures.
The event is co-organised by the Sound/Image/Media Encounters Group (SIME) of the Centre for Practice Research in the Arts (CePRA), Kingston University, London, and Queen Mary University of London.
