As AI systems become ever more sophisticated, what does this mean for images and the art that surrounds them? How have artists navigated this new terrain, and what is photography after AI?

Jake Elwes’ The Zizi Show is a deepfake drag cabaret that explores the ethical problems which exist in Artificial Intelligence (AI). First commissioned by The New Real in 2019, it is currently shown in the V&A Photography Centre.

Join us in the V&A’s Photography Centre for an evening event about images, artists and AI. Delve deep into how images and image-making have been impacted by recent advances in machine learning, and hear from artists who have long engaged with the creative potential of AI. Explore how generative imagery has evolved – and the ethical questions it raises – to learn about how art and creativity can help to radically change how we understand AI.
