In this workshop, Rosemary Lee will do a deep dive into her book Algorithm, Image, Art, expanding from her keynote at the start of the festival. It will situate current artistic practice with AI in relation to the historical context behind algorithmic visual media. This includes looking at how emerging cultural practices with technology have been shaped by earlier methods of applying algorithms to the production of images. We will look at the implications of formulating images algorithmically, from instructional methods to the embedding of geometric and optical relations into flat images, to the questioning of authorship brought about by the advent of photography and relationships between human vision and the highly automated forms of image-making performed by machines. Elaborating on this through participatory exercises, workshop participants will work together to reflect on what role emerging technologies play in their own practice.
