LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:The two presentations examine how gene
 rative AI systems are haunted by the visual pasts 
 they absorb, from war imagery amplified across soc
 ial platforms to personal photos scraped into trai
 ning datasets at incomprehensible scales. Marloes 
 Geboers traces how platforms and algorithmic ampli
 fication shape what gets counted and recycled into
  synthetic imaginaries, while Gabriel Pereira tink
 ers with the automated pipelines that produce AI s
 lop, surfacing the layers of mediation buried in t
 hem. Together, we ask what critical and creative p
 ossibilities emerge when we confront, rather than 
 look away from, the spectral afterlives of the con
 temporary, algorithmic visual culture.  For the fu
 ll abstracts of the talks and the zoom link, pleas
 e visit the PEPTalks website.
