Join us to celebrate the opening night of the exhibition, ‘An Eye Unruled’ — which investigates emerging forms of representation that challenge traditional authorship, revealing the entangled relationship between computational and human vision. It is presented by Fotomuseum Winterthur and swissnex San Francisco.
From neural networks that hallucinate creatures or generate pixel-perfect portraits of non-existing people, to Instagram selfies of self-proclaimed CGI-robots, An Eye Unruled explores the possible universes envisioned by the post-human eye.
Moving away from the idea of photography as a way to replicate the retina and as objective proof, this exhibition presents five Five screen-based works created as collaborations between Machines and Artist from the US and Switzerland.
Gene Kogan, Simone C Niquille, Maria Guta, Dominique Koch and Pinar Yoldas give us an insight into automatic cognitive methods and show us different ways to include processes of machine learning in an artistic practice. They explore how human and non-human agents merge to create alternative imaginary worlds and new ways of seeing.

Fotomuseum Winterthur
The Swiss Institution, based in Winterthur, is a leading institution for the presentation and discussion of photography and visual culture. From established names to emerging talents, the photographic works they address contemporary issues while forging a link between the history of photography and its future.
LifeCycle Series
This exhibition is part of our year-long LifeCycle series, which brings together artists, researchers, scientists and others to pose crucial questions about the future of creation, life, and death. The LifeCycle series poses challenging questions about where we want tech to take us: not only looking at what is possible today, but also how we can be responsible stewards of our emerging cyber-organic future.
Additional Workshop
July 12 — The opening is followed by a workshop with artists, scientists, and technologists to explore the rising role of artificial intelligence in creating our visual culture. If you would like to take part, please apply to [email protected]. Details TBA
