Abstract: | In this talk, Catherine will discuss how she employs creative machine learning and generative artificial intelligence in her digital photographic practice. Amongst the projects she will discuss is her 2022 work 'Light Leaks', which uses a series of abstract blurs resembling light leaks from a damaged camera as input for an image recognition system, in an effort to draw critical attention to the limitations and biases of contemporary machine learning systems. She will also introduce her current project 'Frankenstein’s Camera', a series of landscapes created by blending her own photographs with AI-generated imagery using text prompts based on the writing of 'Frankenstein' author Mary Shelley. In addition to demonstrating how she goes about creating these images using Runway, Catherine will reflect on some of the conceptual, theoretical, and ethical challenges working with generative AI has posed for her as a photographic practitioner. | ||||||
