Join us for an evening of insight into AI’s role as a “memory machine.” Discover how understanding AI’s limitations can unlock artistic possibilities and gain fresh perspectives on our evolving relationship with technology, creativity, and personal history. Our speaker is Dr. Lev Manovich, an artist, writer, and one of the most influential theorists of digital art and culture in the world. He is a Presidential Professor at The Graduate Center, City University of New York, and the author of many books including AI Aesthetics, Cultural Analytics, Instagram and Contemporary Image, and The Language of New Media. His most recent book is Artificial Aesthetics: Generative AI, Art and Visual Media. Manovich’s presentation will draw on ideas in his book and his recent art projects that explore the use of AI as a new medium for representing personal memory and history.
