Tomorrow at 4 pm is our talk with eight @lartiere artists and our final event of the year! Among the artists is Phillip Toledano @mrtoledano who will be speaking about his two books, We Are At War and Another America. Both question the threshold between reality and fiction by exploring the possibilities of AI. We Are At War imagines the contents of one of the lost film rolls Robert Capa shot on D-Day in 1944. “We are at a cultural turning point -our relationship with the image, and the idea of image as truth -has fundamentally changed,” Phillip Toledano says of the work. “What better way to illustrate this than by convincingly reinventing one of the most significant moments of our own near history?” Phillip’s exploration of the topic extends to his book Another America whose AI-generated images are set in 1940s and 1950s New York. This was a time when photographic imagery held a unique sense of veracity, and Phillip’s project transports viewers to a parallel universe where historical events take unexpected turns.
