The Algorithmic Gaze: What Does It Mean to See—and Be Seen?

Library As generative tools reshape how images are created, shared, and consumed, questions about authorship, bias, and representation take on new urgency. Join us for an exploration of critical digital literacies with Mackenzie Salisbury, formerly the Information Literacy Librarian at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This session unpacks how algorithms are trained, how cultural canons are formed, and how bias often hides behind the appearance of neutrality. Using traditional artworks, AI-generated images, and pop culture references, the program introduces a set of questions we can ask—of tools, of images, and of ourselves—as we navigate the increasingly automated world of visual culture. Designed for museum professionals, librarians, educators, artists, and curious thinkers, this session blends historical context with contemporary critique to offer practical ways of engaging with digital media more critically, creatively, and justly. Live captioning will be provided. Questions: library@frick.org. Join Us: Free with Zoom registration .

Vermeer’s Art of Discretion: Modern Love and Private Letters

Education Join us for this lecture presented by Dr. Robert Fucci, curator of the Frick’s special exhibition Vermeer’s Love Letters (June 18 through August 31, 2025). At the core of Vermeer’s paintings of women reading, writing, or receiving letters is a theme that carried immense emotional weight in an era when the privacy of the exchange was paramount. The presence of maids in the three paintings shown in the Frick’s special exhibition does not disrupt this privacy but rather embodies it. These maids were confidants who enabled the women they served to develop love matches on their own terms, as discrete messengers privy to the unmasked emotions of those involved, and as witnesses to the uncertainties and vulnerabilities that desire entailed. This talk will explore Vermeer’s artistic strategies in approaching these themes, the artist’s visual and written sources for such subject matter, and the important but understudied role that women played as both patrons and viewers of his works. Tickets are $20 per person ($16… Join Us: SOLD OUT. Questions: edevents@frick.org. Webcast: No. Wednesday, June 18, 2025, 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM. In-Person: Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium.
