AI Politics: Slopaganda and the Archive
As part of the exhibition THE WORLD THROUGH AI, the symposium curated by Antonio Somaini and Roland Meyer brings together a group of artists and researchers to explore the use of AI-generated imagery as a new form of political propaganda, and the role of AI models as filters reshaping our relationship with the past: with history, memory, and the archive.
