A recent BBC News article featuring the work of visual artist maria mavropoulou explores how photographers are dealing with shifting perceptions of reality. Mavropoulou's work is currently on view in the group exhibition Missing Mirror: Photography Through the Lens of AI.   Mavropoulou shares her concerns: ”The effect that scares me most is not that we'll be fooled by fake photos but that we'll ignore the real ones, or choose which to believe based on our presumptions.”   Full article via: https://lnkd.in/eF28MXXq

Looking back at a fun event at the exhibition Strength Away From Home, on view at Galerie Mercatorplein in Amsterdam West until 8 July: https://lnkd.in/eYAn-67S Participants experimented with Polaroid cameras during a photography workshop by Coco Olakunle and joined in many sports activities by athletes Soraya Verhoeve (Ajax) and Muna Dahouk (Olympic Refugee Team).⁠ ⁠ Strength Away From Home is initiated in collaboration with KLABU⁠, an Amsterdam-based non-profit organisation that supports refugees through sports, reflecting upon the courage and resilience shown by millions of refugees worldwide who have been torn from their familiar environment and forced to build a new life away from home. The exhibition shows the work of photographer Coco Olakunle which aims to break through existing stereotypes and shift the visual narrative surrounding refugees, empowering their personal voices.⁠ ⁠ Special thanks to SEA Water™ and innocent drinks for the refreshing beverages.⁠ ⁠ Unity Day for World Refugee Week 2024 © Foam.

This week in Creative Review: “The name of Paolo Cirio’s new exhibition, AI Attacks, is knowingly ambiguous. Is he attacking AI, or is it attacking us? In reality, it’s somewhere in between. Presented at Foam in Amsterdam, the exhibition brings together four of his projects – including one new work – that collectively unpick AI and how it’s leveraged against individuals and societies. He does this with challenging, provocative works that span photography, text, moving image, and, yes, generative AI.” The exhibition AI Attacks by Paolo CIRIO is a part of the multidimensional project Photography through the Lens of AI. On view at Foam until 25 August. Full article available via: https://lnkd.in/eBYX7VV4
