Archival Images of AI

Rasa Bocyte (LT), Nadia Piet (NL), Ploipailin Flynn (US)

In this hands-on, two-hour workshop, participants will:
• Learn to identify common visual tropes in AI: What stories do they tell? What stories do they conceal?
• Write their own image briefs tailored to their AI communication needs
• Understand how reusing and reinterpreting cultural heritage collections can challenge mainstream AI narratives
• Apply AI remix techniques—such as emoji annotations, digital distortion, pattern-making, and meme creation—using archival images to create new, more impactful AI visuals
