In the age of the internet, AI, and digital avatars, the boundary between human and machine, and our online and IRL selves is being blurred. What does this mean for our ongoing sense of self and how implicit is photography in this?

 

With exhibiting artists Ling Ang, Ying Ang, Matthieu Gafsou and Sam Lieblich. Chaired by Alison Bennett, Associate Dean (Photography), RMIT School of Art.

 

Taking place in person and streaming live, PHOTO 2022’s headline talks program PHOTO Live addresses the social and cultural role photography plays in our lives and how art can activate cities and public spaces. Featuring exhibiting artists in conversation with curators and academics, these exchanges will explore a range of issues in response to the theme Being Human.

 

PHOTO Live was presented in partnership with Metro Tunnel Creative Program and Monash Gallery of Art.
