ABOUT
Join us and visiting artist–researcher Eryk Salvaggio for an AI-generated video essay with live narration that explores the blurred boundaries between human and artificial intelligence. The artist performs against deliberately fuzzy AI visuals and sound, creating an “augmented AI” lecture that examines how noise functions in both generative AI and contemporary culture. While AI models seek pattern recognition and noise removal, the work celebrates noise as generative and exploratory—distinctly human territory. This hybrid performance simultaneously functions as film, talk, essay, and sound piece, confusing roles between human performer and generated media to propose new multimodal arrangements for our AI age.
The audience Q&A will be facilitated by Professor Zach Kaiser.
Refreshments will be provided.
