About this film

In a world increasingly mediated through generative AI it has never been so vital to illuminate and grasp the processes that make up its intelligence. With platforms such as Google and Microsoft experimenting with embedding diffusion models directly into their search engines, and the frenetic dispersal of AI generated images over social media, it becomes difficult to imagine a future where much of our online activity isn’t touched by the hand of AI. In light of this, Sunny Attias delved into the opaque nature of photographic truth, combining the regurgitative nature of diffusion models with the spread of conspiracy theories on the internet. Half tutorial and half collective workshop, the audience was shown how to fine-tune an existing generative AI model by collectively submitting images for its training. Screen Walks is a new series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
