Queer Representation in AI Art

"Machines have the morality of their inventors" - Amiri Baraka, 1970. When exploring AI-generated animations of transgender people in transition, artist and MSU professor Lorelei d’Andriole thought the results resembled "bad taxidermy"—comical failures at capturing reality. This is just one example of AI revealing societal bias, despite engineers’ efforts toward diversity. Join us for a multimedia performance in AI’s visual language that explores the "trap of visibility" facing transgender Americans amid 500+ anti-trans bills introduced in the past few years. Following the screening, stay for a dialogue about stereotype versus reality while imagining worlds emphasizing love, freedom, and inclusiveness.
Light reception to follow.
