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.

EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE
Theatre and Dance
Under the direction of Assistant Professor Nicole Crowthers, EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE is a play by Lindsay Price. It tells the tale of seven strangers who meet in a train station.
