Event: 08.10.2023 (Sunday), 17.00
Place: Stacja Muranów x Galeria Jednostka, Andersa 13 st., 00-159 Warsaw
Guests: Grzegorz Głowienko, Linda Lach, Piotr Rutkowski
Host: Katarzyna Sagatowska
Partnership: Warsaw Gallery Weekend
The panel will be meeting of two different worlds – art and science, it will offer an interesting form of dialogue provoked by Lach’s ‘Trans-line’ computer program, which is featured as an exhibit at the Jednostka Gallery
During the panel a phenomenon that lies at the heart of many modern machine learning and AI models will be discussed, namely ‘immersion’, which is a kind of mapping of objects onto hidden coordinates of machine knowledge. Immersion gives us insight into how machines represent complex and sometimes abstract, but familiar, constructs. They replicate these elements in a way that satisfies us, often so skillfully that it is difficult to say whether they have been created by a model or by a human.
In addition to addressing these general topics, the panellists will look at examples of architecture families used in language and diffusion models. They will analyse how these techniques use immersion to produce new data, understand a language, explore the human genome, and create extraordinary new representations of the world we live in. Trans-line will be a point of reference here. Being available to anyone who wishes to use it, it becomes an environment where successive digital doppelgangers can ‘immerse’ and do a swap. What are these digital creations? Do they really replicate people as they are in the real world? What is the relevance of the data obtained by the program and what interpretations can we infer from them when interacting with the application?
The meeting will be translated into polish sign language.
The discussion accompanies Linda Lach’s exhibition ‘Trans-line: What If I Never Use It Again?’ in the Jednostka Gallery, which is part of the Warsaw Gallery Weekend.
