SERIES OF EVENTS 'Press the Shutter, Type the Prompt: Photography & Truth in Times of AI'

Press the Shutter, Type the Prompt: Photography & Truth in Times of AI is a series of events including 3 exhibitions by Michael Christopher Brown, Haley Morris Cafiero and Stéphanie Hubert.  It is organised by Goran Gaber, Andrew Cusworth, and Anne-Sophie Gabillas within the Channels of Digital Scholarship initiative (Maison Française d’Oxford and Digital Scholarship @Oxford) and as part of Photo Oxford Festival.

Press the Shutter, Type the Prompt brings together three distinct artistic voices to explore different ways generative artificial intelligence can be woven into creative practice. Together, their works reveal the breadth of possibilities that emerge when art and AI intersect.

Michael Christopher Brown’s 90 Miles uses generative tools to illustrate histories of Cuban migration that couldn’t be captured on camera. In What Does an Ideal Employee Look Like? Haley Morris Cafiero employs performance, humour and AI to visualise the biases hidden in the algorithms that power online employment assessments. Stéphanie Hubert’s Sleeping Beauty blends photography and AI to explore memory, grief and the invisible traces of loss.

Channels of Digital Scholarship is a collaborative research initiative jointly organised by the Maison Française d'Oxford and Digital Scholarship @Oxford. Since 2022, it has served as a platform for leading scholars and eminent artists from France, the UK, and beyond to present and discuss innovative projects that engage with or utilise digital technologies.
