Antonia Kuo Artist Talk
Join the artist Antonia Kuo for a presentation on her practice. Kuo’s work centers around recording, image-making, and the potential of the photographic medium. In her unique “photochemical paintings” she utilizes light-sensitive paper and photochemistry to capture light, time and mark making, collapsing her drawing and painting practice with photographic materiality. Like her photochemical works, Kuo’s sculptures serve as recordings of forms that are lost, obscured, and only partially remembered. FREE

These promises, however, are not supported by the reality of what computer vision—the branch of AI most relevant to the history of art—can achieve. So why have major institutions in education and the arts been so quick to take up these firms’ offers?
