UTWrites with Tim Ridlen
Lectures
Join the Library in a discussion with FMX Professor Tim Ridlen, who will read from his new book Intelligent Action: A History of Artistic Research, Aesthetic Experience and Artists in Academia. Intelligent Action argues that conceptual and performance artists working across media in the American university took an alternative approach to the dominant conceptions of research and knowledge production. The author elaborates the ways in which experience, an idea that united the sciences and the arts, gave rise to a new socially engaged role for artists.

Controversies in Communication Lecture Series:Psychological Modernism and AI Imaging: Or, The Work of Photography in the Age of Its Artificial Intelligibility
Lectures
By the mid to late twentieth century, the location of meaning in art photography shifted from its formal qualities to the psychological, phenomenological and social experience of form as meaningful. This presentation explores AI imaging today through comparison to this historical shift, which I call psychological modernism. Where modernist art photography was invested in medium-specificity, authorship, and indexicality, psychological modernism facilitated meaningful experience through disarticulated media, such as instructions and documentation with significant lessons for the intelligibility of AI imaging today.
