Together with Antonio Somaini and Sonja Thiel, I have co-curated \u201cHidden Layers: AI Infrastructures and Hallucinations,\u201d an exhibition of art created with and about AI at UC Berkeley\u2019s Worth Ryder Gallery. The exhibition is part of \u201cThe Latent Spaces of Culture,\u201d a research project I co-lead with Antonio Somaini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the description<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In neural networks, the \u201chidden layers\u201d are the intermediate strata of transformation between input and output \u2014 the computational structures where data are transformed, weighted, and recombined into increasingly abstract, distributed representations that no human eye can read. The exhibition HIDDEN LAYERS: AI Infrastructures and Hallucinations takes this term as its conceptual frame, bringing together seventeen international artists and researchers working at the intersection of contemporary art and machine learning to make visible what artificial intelligence keeps out of sight: its planetary infrastructures and computational latent spaces, its colonial and ideological underpinnings, its misrecognitions and hallucinations, and its transformation of our relation to the past through the silent reprocessing of pre-existing cultural forms. The exhibition is organized in four sections: \u201cIn the Latent Spaces of Culture,\u201d \u201cMaterial Infrastructures,\u201d \u201cColonial Imaginaries: From Misrecognition to Generative Slopaganda,\u201d and \u201cHallucinations and Psychedelia.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
