Gallery Talk | Art Critic & Artist Explore Photography in the Age of AI

Gallery Talks, October 22, 2026, 10/22/2026, Art Critic & Artist Explore Photography in the Age of AI

Thursday, October 22, 2026, 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm

free, RSVP required

A conversation between Charlotte Kent and Danielle Ezzo about photography and AI from a historic, critical, and artistic perspective. Photography has always been troubled by its own expansion. From its inception, what it does and whether someone is doing it has been debated. It launched out of science experiments and landed in the field of art. Each new camera, lens, or product, from the daguerreotype to the Polaroid to the digital file, has renewed confusion and uncertainty about what the medium is, does, preserves, constructs, witnesses, and deteriorates. To what degree does a conversation about photography today devolve into the problems of "AI," and does "AI" need photography as a practice to define its lineage?

Writing in The Brooklyn Rail, visual culture scholar and art critic Charlotte Kent traces these ambiguities to ask whether photography is the only appropriate lens to view this slippery emergent technology. Danielle Ezzo, an artist and writer whose practice is built within the territory that Kent theorizes, speaks to the embodied experience of straddling two media that are constantly connected yet often in conflict. Together, their live conversation will move between the historical and the material, the theoretical and the embodied to bring the paradigm shift into clearer focus.
