Jana J. Haeckel's lecture The Living Archive. Synthetic Images as Multi-Sensory, Dialogical Spaces of Experience in Contemporary Art at the international photography symposium NIDA. Meeting Photography explores the imaginative and reparative potential of AI-generated images, focusing on artists who use synthetic image technologies to address the gaps in diasporic and migrant experiences within existing material and virtual image archives. By subverting the biased representation models of most AI systems, the discussed works develop multi-sensory, speculative body images that propose dialogical spaces of experience in the exhibition room.
