The current images associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) lean heavily on science fiction clichés like glowing circuits, futuristic robots and complex digital networks. While these visuals can be eye-catching, they are also misleading, making AI seem like a distant fantasy rather than showing its real impact on society, creativity, and daily life.
‘The Bigger Picture: Reimagining AI Imagery’ is an exhibition that challenges these outdated tropes and offers a more grounded, realistic portrayal of AI. A collection of images that move beyond the realm of sci-fi, to explore AI’s actual presence in everyday life. The exhibition reflects how AI quietly but powerfully shapes our world, focusing on the potential of this technology, while also exploring the ethical challenges, and societal implications.
Date: 11 – 17 November 2024 – Science Week
Location: MTU Gallery at 46 Grand Parade, Cork
The Bigger Picture invites curious minds to engage with AI in ways that are meaningful and insightful. Through fresh perspectives and thought-provoking visuals, The Bigger Picture seeks to transform how we perceive and understand Artificial Intelligence – not as a distant, futuristic concept, but as an integral part of the world we live in today.
The Bigger Picture was funded through the Research Ireland Science Week 2024 call.
