Exhibition: Press the Shutter, Type the Prompt: Photography & Truth in Times of AI

Channels of Digital Scholarship

Press the Shutter, Type the Prompt brings together three distinct artistic voices to explore different ways generative artificial intelligence can be woven into creative practice. Together, their works reveal the breadth of possibilities that emerge when art and AI intersect.

Michael Christopher Brown's 90 Miles uses generative tools to illustrate histories of Cuban migration that couldn't be captured on camera. In What Does an Ideal Employee Look Like? Haley Morris Cafiero employs performance, humour and AI to visualise the biases hidden in the algorithms that power online employment assessments. Stéphanie Hubert's Sleeping Beauty blends photography and AI to explore memory, grief and the invisible traces of loss.

Exhibition on view: 25 October - 5 December
Maison Française d'Oxford
Opening hours:
