Artist Trevor Paglen brings artists’ voices into the urgent debate around image-making today and where artists might take AI next.
This event marks the launch of his new book, How to See Like a Machine: Images After AI. In anticipation of our forthcoming exhibition of Julio Le Parc, the conversation will reflect on perception: how we see, how images shape us, and how vision itself is constructed. This traces a line from Le Parc’s investigations of light and participation to today’s algorithmic gaze.
Moderated by Manisha Ganguly, the talk will be followed by a book signing.
