Description
AI has grabbed headlines and sparked fervid debates among visual artists and faculty. This presentation will open an opportunity to engage on the topic of natural language AI generative image engines like Midjourney and the controversies that attend them, such as the illicit use of artists’ works to train the systems and the efforts to “poison” these generators. Timothy Nohe has investigated these tools, and exhibited works that allow him to speculate on engineered biomaterials and plants. As a graduate assistant to the late AI pioneering artist Harold Cohen, he brings over 30 years of experience to this conversation.
