Artist Talk: Eryk Salvaggio, The Hypothetical Image: Reading the Artifacts of Generative AI

06:30pm - 08:00pm, Tue 06 May 2025, The Photographer’s Gallery, London.

How might we "read" the media produced by generative artificial intelligence? Eryk Salvaggio suggests we engage them as infographics: data visualizations of archives and datasets that strives for plausibility rather than expression or documentation. 

In a presentation blending artistic research into images, video, and sound, Salvaggio will examine the ways artists can hijack the spectacle of AI to engage more critically with its politics and dangers of AI ordering the world on our behalf.
