In 1950, Alan Turing proposed an “imitation game” to address the question of whether computers could exhibit intelligence. His paper, published in a philosophy journal, sparked and continues to spark many responses. We review the background of Turing’s paper, the history of these responses and examine how Turing might view the current state of Artificial Intelligence.

Liz Deschenes is a photographer who, in the best modernist tradition, pushes against the basic terms by which photography is conventionally defined: instantaneity, veracity, fixity, or reproducibility,” writes curator and critic Matthew Witkovsky. Indeed, Deschenes uses durational photogramatic exposure to create unique, shifting surfaces that frequently function as sculptural or architectural rather than photographic objects.
