Join us at RMIT Gallery to listen and participate in a panel discussion which interrogates the photographic image’s most recent metamorphosis. AI represents the latest stage of photography’s transformation into a software output, cannibalising the camera and even transforming it into a set of executable text prompts. What does this mean for the future of the medium?
This talk will be led by the execute_photography’s curator Katrina Sluis who is joined by artists J. Rosenbaum, Sebastian Schmieg and Tom Blachford.
