Alec Bahta, artist and musician, speaks about AI, NFTs, and music.

Marika Thunder, artist, speaks about the relationship between humans, machines, and images.

Corrine Ciani,
writer and editorial producer at Zora,
speaks about minting as posting and a method of archiving work. Utilizing blockchain technology is a novel method of archiving one’s work, rather than placing ownership into the hands of an extraneous publication or the internet void. In an age of proliferation of posting and images, minting can be an effective way of controlling one’s voice as a creator.

Ava Pearlman,
model,
speaks about accepting the loss of control of her image. From having her face cut out by Calvin Klein, losing her casual self when she was featured in the Daily Mail, she has given herself away in multiple stages. She describes the process that her sense of agency and ownership of her own image has undergone since becoming a model.

Richard Turley,
creative director and graphic designer,
speaks about the reason contemporary images have lost meaning, becoming flatter. The requirements for imagery to enter the mediasphere require fewer processes and therefore lack intentionality. He introduces the idea of “generations” of images and the way in which the introduction of digital technology has removed these generations, or processes, from most media today.
