Image Empire, Dr. Alan Warburton’s new animated fairytale, helps describe how “large world models” fuse the real and the virtual together in potent new forms, bringing game logics to our working lives.
Alan will be joined by Harmeet Chagger (Head of Digital and Innovation at The Space), Dr Maya Indira Ganesh (Associate Director of Research Culture & Partnerships at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence), John O’Shea (Creative Director and Co-CEO at the National Videogame Museum) and Hannah Redler-Hawes (Director of Data as Culture, the ODI). The panel will be chaired by Dr. Oonagh Murphy (Senior Lecturer in Digital Culture and Society at Goldsmiths, University of London).
You’ll hear all about what AI can and can’t do, what effects a collapse of real and virtual could have on visual culture, and if we’re living in a post-truth world. This webinar is definitely not one to miss!
Image Empire is commissioned by the BGI / National Videogame Museum, working with curator Hannah Redler-Hawes, in collaboration with the Open Data Institute Data as Culture & Cambridge University’s Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge (CFI).
