So it's not so much going in with a preconceived notion. You obviously go into most stories with some idea of what you're going to do, but every idea I have, that work in itself almost reveals or tells me kind of what it should be. So sometimes that means fiction, sometimes that does mean straight photojournalism, sometimes that means entirely imagined and staged projects…” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

Key Takeaways:AI expands artistic freedom, not replaces artists – AI removes physical limitations, allowing artists to create purely from imagination. But vision, composition, and storytelling remain essential—great art is still shaped by human experience.Surprise fuels creativity – Whether capturing an unexpected moment in street photography or experimenting with AI-generated images, Boris believes that embracing the unpredictable is key to artistic innovation.AI isn't photography—it needs its own category – Boris argues that AI-generated images aren't made with light and shouldn't compete in photography contests. Instead, he calls for a new category—promptography—to recognize AI's distinct creative process.Website: boris eldagsen | photo & video art berlinInstagram: Photomedia & AI Artist (@boriseldagsen)00:00 Introduction to the Special Episode00:41 Meet Boris Eldagsen: The AI Photographer01:07 The Sony World Photography Awards Controversy05:20 Defining Photography in the Age of AI07:39 The Art of Promptography12:10 Boris's Creative Process and Workflow19:30 The Future of Photography and AI30:53 Tips for Aspiring Promptographers38:51 Exploring AI Tools and Techniques41:29 Conclusion and Reflections

The machines are coming. Scratch that—they're already here: AIs that propose new combinations of ideas; chatbots that help us summarize texts or write code; algorithms that tell us who to friend or follow, what to watch or read. For a while the reach of intelligent machines may have seemed somewhat limited. But not anymore—or, at least, not for much longer. The presence of AI is growing, accelerating, and, for better or worse, human culture may never be the same.    My guest today is Dr. Iyad Rahwan. Iyad directs the Center for Humans and Machines at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin. Iyad is a bit hard to categorize. He's equal parts computer scientist and artist; one magazine profile described him as "the Anthropologist of AI." Labels aside, his work explores the emerging relationships between AI, human behavior, and society. In a recent paper, Iyad and colleagues introduced a framework for understanding what they call "machine culture." The framework offers a way of thinking about the different routes through which AI may transform—is transforming—human culture.    Here, Iyad and I talk about his work as a painter and how he brings AI into the artistic process. We discuss whether AIs can make art by themselves and whether they may eventually develop good taste. We talk about how AIphaGoZero upended the world of Go and about how LLMs might be changing how we speak. We consider what AIs might do to cultural diversity. We discuss the field of cultural evolution and how it provides tools for thinking about this brave new age of machine culture. Finally, we discuss whether any spheres of human endeavor will remain untouched by AI influence.    Before we get to it, a humble request: If you're enjoying the show—and it seems that many of you are—we would be ever grateful if you could let the world know. You might do this by leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcasts, or maybe a comment on Spotify. You might do this by giving us a shout out on the social media platform of your choice. Or, if you prefer less algorithmically mediated avenues, you might do this just by telling a friend about us face-to-face. We're hoping to grow the show and best way to do that is through listener endorsements and word of mouth. Thanks in advance, friends.   Alright, on to my conversation with Iyad Rahwan. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links 3:00 – Images from Dr. Rahwan's ‘Faces of Machine' portrait series.

You can judge the scenarios for yourself (or design your own scenarios) here. 30:30 – An article about the Nightmare Machine project; an article about the Deep Empathy project. 37:30 – An article by Cesar Hidalgo and colleagues about the relationship between television/radio and global celebrity. 41:30 – An article by Melanie Mitchell (former guest!) on AI and analogy.

Da sempre le riviste fotografiche hanno contribuito alla divulgazione e alla valorizzazione della fotografia in tutto il mondo. Attraverso il connubio, spesso strampalato, tra parole ed immagini, abbiamo assistito alla messa in evidenza di alcuni dei momenti più cruciali della storia moderna, riscoprendo, proprio nella carta, un posto bello in cui sfogliare fotografie. Un posto che, negli ultimi tempi, sembra essere cambiato del tutto. Gli ultimi anni parlano chiaro. Mentre la fotografia, in qualche modo, è rimasta la stessa, l'editoria fotografica ha subito violentemente le trasformazioni del digitale, perdendo la centralità che aveva una volta nel settore ed aprendo le porte, volente o nolente, a nuovi modi di comunicare e pubblicare le immagini. Modi moderni di concepire la materia che ci fanno pensare a ritroso e porre un'unica domanda: l'editoria fotografica sarà ancora fondamentale in futuro per la valorizzazione della cultura e dei giovani talenti? Ne parliamo con Barbara Silbe, giornalista e curatrice.→ LINK UTILI

O renomado fotógrafo brasileiro Sebastião Salgado é o grande homenageado do ano pela Organização Mundial de Fotografia em reconhecimento à sua contribuição à linguagem visual da fotografia. Os vencedores do 17° prêmio Sony World Photography Awards 2024 foram anunciados em uma cerimônia em Londres. Yula Rocha, correspondente da RFI em LondresSebastião Salgado recebeu o prêmio Outstanding Contribution to Photography (Contribuição Notável para a Fotografia), sendo o primeiro brasileiro e o segundo latino-americano agraciado com a honraria.Uma seleta retrospectiva dos mais famosos trabalhos de Salgado faz parte da exposição de fotógrafos finalistas do prêmio aberta nesta sexta-feira (19) ao público na Somerset House, na capital britânica.“Zona de Sacrifício” e “Entre Esperança e Distópia” são dois dos títulos das fotografias em cartaz que poderiam dar nome às muitas das imagens captadas por Sebastião Salgado nos últimos cinquenta anos, o grande homenageado da premiação internacional de fotografia - Sony World Photography Awards. Mas os dois títulos são de fotos de finalistas desta competição que também trataram de temas globais como a catástrofe climática, mineração, migração e destruição das práticas ancestrais de povos Indígenas já retratados por Salgado em seu meio século de carreira como fotógrafo profissional.Nesta 17ª edição, o juri selecionou cerca de 200 obras entre 395 mil imagens de 220 países, um recorde da competição de fotografia profissional. Os selecionados disputaram prêmios em dez categorias entre arquitetura, meio ambiente, criatividade, retratos, estudantes e jovens, entre outras.O prêmio de fotógrafo do ano foi dado à francesa Juliette Pavy que expôs uma série de fotografias documentais sobre as vítimas de uma política forçada de controle de natalidade na Groenlândia entre 1966 e 1975 contra quatro mil e quinhentas mulheres Inuit, povo originário do Ártico. A investigação ainda está em curso.Na mesma categoria de fotojornalismo, e em uma das salas mais cheias da exposição no dia da abertura para imprensa, estão as fotos do brasileiro Raphael Alves. Ele é um dos finalistas da premiação com seu trabalho em Roraima sobre a crise no território Yanomami com retratos fortes de Indígenas desnutridos e rios contaminados pelo mercúrio com avanço da mineração ilegal na Amazônia.O verão mais quente da história, em 2023, inspirou muitos dos fotógrafos a retratarem as consequências da emergência climática global com imagens artísticas e impactantes das recentes queimadas no Canadá, a extinção de borboletas na Alemanha e a insegurança alimentar causada pelo clima extremo em boa parte do sul global. Temas como o preconceito enfrentado pela comunidade LGBTQ+ da NASA, que bane astronautas não-héteros nas missões, até as histórias de refugiados trans de Uganda que migraram para o Quênia, onde podem ser o que bem quiserem, também foram contemplados.Exposição das obras de SalgadoNa última sala da exposição estão as obras em preto e branco selecionadas pelo próprio Sebastião Salgado, reconhecido pela sua contribuição à linguagem visual da fotografia. São fotos já vistas no Brasil e no mundo como as imagens dos trabalhadores em Serra Pelada e algumas fotos de exposições mais recentes como Genesis e Amazônia.Aos 80 anos, Sebastião Salgado frequentemente ouve das pessoas que depois de tamanha experiência, ele deveria escrever um livro. A resposta dele está em um texto da exposição:“Eu já venho escrevendo com fotografias, é minha forma de expressão, minha linguagem. Fotografia é minha vida.” A exposição fica em cartaz na Somerset House em Londres até o dia 6 de maio.

Dlaczego decydują się na robienie zdjęć swoim dzieciom? Kiedy sięgają po aparat i czy poza dokumentowanie życia znajdują też w tym artystyczną przyjemność? Do rozmowy prowadzonej przez Monikę Szewczyk-Wittek zaprosiliśmy Grzegorza Dembińskiego i Jacka Gąsiorowskiego. W czułej rozmowie o dorastaniu i pasji do fotografii zastanawiamy się nad strategiami zatrzymywania dzieciństwa w kadrach. Podejście reporterskie, a może bardziej artystyczne? Które chętniej przyjmują dzieci Jacka i Grzegorza? Zatrzymujemy się na młodych bohaterach i ich wpływie na to jak wyglądają zdjęcia. Rozmawiamy też o znaczeniu jakiego nabierają zdjęcia pod wpływem czasu.Grzegorz DembińskiFotograf i dziennikarz z Poznania.

Artificial intelligence is a polarizing topic, and its rapid evolution within content creation has set our once familiar world on edge. To help demystify this gargantuan subject and add clarity to important concerns, we're turning to an artist positioned at the very center of the debate between photography and AI imagery. Above photograph © Boris Eldagsen German media artist Boris Eldagsen made global headlines after entering his AI-generated image, “The Electrician,” in the Sony World Photography Awards. He won a top prize, and then ultimately declined the award due to a lack of open discussion about the need to categorize photographs and AI-generated imagery differently.  Join us for this frank and informative discussion about generative AI. Some of the diverse topics we cover include ways creativity is shared between man and machine, the effects of different languages (and even phrasing) when creating text prompts, inherent biases in AI training data and ways to counter this, the emergence of AI agencies, the newly created job title of Prompt Engineer, and much, much more. And for those listeners who fear AI as a threat to their photo careers, our discussion ends on an upbeat note, with the classification of generative AI as a knowledge accelerator, being most beneficial to practitioners with a solid background in traditional photography and the visual arts. To quote Eldagsen, “For the first time in history, the older generation has an advantage...” We'll let you listen to hear the end.

The government of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently announced plans to protect the public from AI misuse in the foreseeable future, but critics complain the time for action is now, especially when political actors like the far-right Alternative for Germany are using artificial intelligence to spread hatred and misinformation. Host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson and senior producer Dina Elsayed delve into the sometimes shady world of AI in Germany and Europe with artist and controversial Sony World Photography Awards winner Boris Eldsagen who refused his prize for his AI-generated entry and Hertie School professor of ethics and technology Joanna Bryson. 

In April 2023, a seismic shift occurred in the world of art and creativity. The prestigious Sony World Photography Awards, renowned for celebrating human talent and vision, awarded a prize to an AI-generated photograph. This groundbreaking moment marked a turning point, showcasing the capabilities of generative AI in producing art that could rival human creations. It left many questioning the boundaries between human and machine creativity.Simultaneously, another event unfolded. A new single, seemingly performed by beloved artists Drake and The Weeknd, took the internet by storm, captivating fans across the globe. However, as the excitement reached its peak, the truth emerged—it was an AI creation, flawlessly imitating the artists' musical styles and voices. This incident exposed the potential for AI to deceive and manipulate, blurring the lines between authenticity and imitation.This era of generative AI has ushered in a new paradigm, where not only are judges and fans being fooled, but malicious actors are exploiting the technology for personal gain. Voice cloning, powered by AI, has become a tool for scammers to steal personal information and deceive unsuspecting victims out of their money. The implications are far-reaching, challenging notions of trust and raising concerns about privacy and security in an increasingly AI-driven world.Amidst these pivotal developments, the esteemed musician and technology enthusiast, Vernon Reid, enters the stage. Known as one of Rolling Stone's '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,' Reid brings a unique perspective to the conversation. With his vast experience and passion for technology, he joins James in a discussion that delves into the evolving creative process and the profound implications of Large Language Models (LLMs) in shaping today's culture.Together, they navigate the complex landscape of AI's impact on creativity, touching upon questions surrounding artistic authenticity, the role of human intuition in the creative process, and the ethical considerations raised by the potential misuse of AI. Reid's insights shed light on the opportunities and challenges presented by LLMs, and their profound implications for the future of art, music, and human expression.To book this guest, contact Cricket PR: 212-363-0654------------What to write and publish a book in 30 days?

What's Poppin' Con-gregation? This week, comedians Michelle Buteau and Jordan Carlos join us to discuss Victor Lustig, a con artist of the 1920's whose notorious for selling the Eiffel Tower, twice. Plus, a German photographer has rejected an award from the Sony World Photography Awards after winning with an AI-generated “photograph.” Stay Schemin'!Research by Kaelyn Brandt  SOURCES:https://www.cnn.com/style/article/ai-photo-win-sony-scli-intl/index.htmlhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-smoothest-con-man-that-ever-lived-29861908/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/man-who-sold-eiffel-tower-twice-180958370/https://www.newspapers.com/image/147064321/https://www.casino.org/blog/lustigs-money-machine-scam/

This week: AI and art. We explore some of the key aspects relating to artificial intelligence and its use in the art world: the works being made using AI technologies and exploring their impact; anxieties about machines replacing humans; the idea of AIs being able to think and create independently; and whether we can truly grasp the significance and possible effects of the technologies and those who control it, and more. Host Ben Luke talks to Noam Segal—an associate curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, whose focus is on technology-based art—about AI, its history in art, its social and environmental effects, and how artists are using it today. The Art Newspaper's live editor, Aimee Dawson, talks to the artist and writer Gretchen Andrew about making art with AI and together they explore its wider application across the art world. And this episode's Work of the Week is Pseudomnesia: The Electrician, an image made using AI by the photographer Boris Eldagsen. The piece caused controversy earlier this month when it was awarded a prize at the Sony World Photography Awards, which Eldagsen refused to accept. The researcher and photographer Lewis Bush discusses the work, the controversy and wider questions around AI and photography.• Watch Noam Segal's discussions with artists and thinkers in The Algorithmic State here: noamsegal.net/talks-1; Read Gretchen Andrew's Art Decoded series here: theartnewspaper.com/series/art-decoded Hosted on Acast.

The controversy and confusion over artificial intelligence (AI) continues to rise. Just this week a winner in the Sony World Photography Awards refused his award because the image was made using AI. And a song using AI-generated vocals replicating the voices of Drake and the Weeknd was pulled from several streaming platforms, raising questions about copyright laws. Amid calls from some industry leaders to pause AI development, what's best for our society at large and how do we learn to better use this technology? Joining Julia to discuss is author, venture capitalist, podcaster, and cofounder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Her work has been exhibited worldwide in London, Paris, Copenhagen and New York.
