Fake entries in encyclopedias & ghosts in 7-elevens - AI practises in Central Europe, a lecture by Justyna Kociszewska (EN)

A species of bird that cannot fly until male and female grab their wings and fly collectively, a ghost that lives among humans in... 7-eleven alcohol shops. What seems unreal has also a very true part of the story, revealing even more realness about ourselves and our societies, which comes to life thanks to artists such as Weronika Gęsicka (this year's nominee to Deutsche Borse Photography Award) or Szymon Rogiński. 

Justyna Kociszewska, co-organizer of Fotofestiwal - International Festival of Photography in Łodź (Poland), will present some of the AI related practices by artists and researchers from Poland and try to trace if the Central/Eastern European legacy might affect the way artist look at and work with the newest technologies.
