Algorithm, Image, Art

Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 16.00–18.00 at Emergent Digital Media class, AdBK, new build­ing, room E.O3.26

In this talk, Rosemary Lee will present the cen­tral themes of her research on the inte­gra­tion of machine learn­ing in artis­tic prac­tice, draw­ing from her book “Algorithm, Image, Art” (2024) as well as her own explo­rations in recent projects “A Structural Plan for Imitation” (2024–5) and “Digital Dark Matter” (2025). As a prac­tic­ing artist with a back­ground in media archae­ol­o­gy, Lee’s approach seeks to ground the rise of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence in rela­tion to his­tor­i­cal pre­cur­sor tech­nolo­gies and their sur­round­ing dis­cours­es to inform an under­stand­ing of whether and how this shift departs from exist­ing instances from the dis­tant past.
