AI-generated images are commonplace, reflecting how AI is increasingly designed into everyday life and raising fears that we live in a culture filled with visual half-truths and alternative truths. Yet images have always been uncertain, consensually defined and open to contextual interpretation. This lecture explores the work and power that synthetic images operate beyond realism and verisimilitude.
