First photo festival by AI
Riga Photomonth in 2023 will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) visually defines Latvia’s identity. “As part of the project, three artificial intelligence image generators were involved, but rather than focusing on their technological capabilities, I was more interested in the ideas, stereotypes, prejudices, and ideologies that their human inventors imparted to them,” says project curator Arnis Balčus. Photomonth will take place in a pop-up gallery specially created for this event, where 31 exhibitions will be held throughout the month of May, so every day the audience will be introduced to a different topic that reveals Latvian society, culture, environment, and values. See the list of exhibitions below.
This will be the first photo festival where all artists are AI. Exhibitions will take place in Riga Photomonth popup gallery (location will be announced later), every day from 2-8pm (on May 25 until 10pm), admission is free. Within the framework of the project openings and meetings will be held regularly at 6.30pm with sociologists, philosophers and representatives of other professions, who will interpret what is seen in the exhibitions.
