| Content | This seminar explores recent developments in AI-driven machine vision through historic efforts to transform ways of seeing with the help of optical instruments. How do contemporary technologies such as facial recognition algorithms and generative image models work and both build on/differ from older visual techniques? What kind of visions are produced by today’s optical machine learning models, and how can we understand such visions from a cultural, political, and aesthetic viewpoint? By locating contemporary desires to enhance vision with the help of machines within a longer history of technology-assisted ways of seeing the world, this seminar provides the tools to critique, understand, and problematize the current visual turmoil produced by machine learning. |
