Tamiko Thiel will discuss her work as lead product designer of the first AI supercomputer Connection Machine CM1/CM2, in 1989 the fastest computer on earth. It influenced Google’s AI tech and inspired Steve Jobs‘ designs, and is in collections at MoMA NY and the Smithsonian Institution. She will discuss how in 2012 we came out of the long „AI winter“, and talk about the motivations behind her deepfake AI artwork Lend Me Your Face! (photo, 2020).
The talk will be followed by a discussion with Luxembourg artists Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron in the framework of their show Stronger than memory and weaker than dewdrops at Casino Luxembourg (until [removed]).
Tamiko Thiel received the 2018 SAT Montreal Visionary Pioneer Award for her (now) over 35 years of media artworks exploring place, space, the body and cultural identity in political and socially critical artworks in artworks ranging from a supercomputer to VR, AR and AI. She has been creating virtual reality artworks since 1994; her Beyond Manzanar (2000) was the first VR artwork acquired by a USA art museum (San Jose Museum of Art, in 2002). She has been creating augmented reality artworks since 2010, including Unexpected Growth (2018), commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art and in its collection.
