Foam is thrilled to announce a manifestation on Photography Through the Lens of AI, zooming in on the latest developments on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in photography. In recent years AI has started to make a big impact in the world of photography, changing the way we make and see images. The multi-disciplinary project consists of a group exhibition Missing Mirror which is accompanied by the solo exhibition of Paolo Cirio – AI Attacks (part of Foam’s recurring Next Level series), a thematic issue of Foam Magazine (#66: Missing Mirror), along with a digital presentation on Foam’s online platform Explore.

Since its inception in the 19th century, photography has undergone a constant technological evolution. From traditional darkroom techniques to the transformative potential of software such as Photoshop, image manipulation has remained a key part of the medium. The latest advancement however, AI, has set off a new era in photography, enabling the creation of images that exhibit astonishing realism while being fundamentally divorced from reality. In Photography Through the Lens of AI, Foam explores the intersection between art, technology, and society, highlighting how the recent advancements in AI impact our relationship with images, ourselves and our perception of reality. This focus on technological development in photography has been integral to Foam’s programming, in past exhibitions and in the magazine, and Foam will continue to do so going forward.
