Fotografi i arbete. Föreläsning med Joanna Zylinska (på engelska)

(Scrolla ner för information på svenska)

The talk will probe the algorithmic aspect of perception and vision across apparatuses, platforms and time scales. It will also challenge our dominant modes of understanding photography and other forms of image-making in the age of artificial intelligence. The talk will include a discussion of a project from Zylinska’s own photographic practice titled ‘A View from the Window’, which engages with different forms of intelligence, human and nonhuman, while asking broader questions about creative labour today.

Joanna Zylinska is a writer, lecturer, artist and curator, working in the areas of new technologies and new media, ethics, photography and art. She is Professor of New Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. She is the author of eight books – most recently, ”AI Art: Machine Visions and Warped Dreams” (Open Humanities Press, 2020, open access), ”The End of Man: A Feminist Counterapocalypse” (University of Minnesota Press, 2018, open access) and ”Nonhuman Photography” (MIT Press, 2017).

Zylinska combines her philosophical writings with image-based art practice and curatorial work. In 2013 she was Artistic Director of Transitio_MX05 ‘Biomediations’: Festival of New Media Art and Video in Mexico City. She is currently researching perception and cognition as boundary zones between human and machine intelligence, while also trying to answer the question: ‘Does photography have a future?’.

Photography at Work

The camera and the photograph are constantly at work, they are working tools that make visible, spread and hide at the same time. The technique does something with our perception and with our way of reading the world. It affects the way we navigate and interact with our surroundings. We have invited four lecturers under the heading ”Photography at work”. All lectures take place via Zoom. Links will be accessible through this Facebook event or at www.centrumforfotografi.se
The lecture series is part of the reading group with the same title hosted by ABF and CFF. Organizers of the reading group are Katarina Elvén and Beata Fransson.

Beskrivning på svenska

Fotografi i arbete är en föreläsningsserie och studiecirkel arrangerad av Katarina Elvén och Beata Fransson i samarbete med ABF Stockholm och Centrum för fotografi.

Kameran och fotografiet utgör ett pågående arbete, de är arbetande verktyg som synliggör, sprider och döljer på samma gång. Tekniken gör något med vår perception och med vårt sätt att läsa världen. Den påverkar hur vi navigerar i och interagerar med vår omgivning. Vi har bjudit in fyra föreläsare under rubriken ”Fotografi i arbete”. Samtliga föreläsningar sker via Zoom.
