Together with guests from art, photography, and media studies, we will look at the history and future of the medium: How is our understanding of images changing in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and a flood of images?

In the context of the exhibition The Lure of the Image, the program explores the impact of AI on photography, image culture, and society—from its history and its relationship to photography to its ecological footprint.
