Internationally renowned New Zealand artist and critical engineer Julian
Oliver will launch the symposium with a keynote address laying out the
current state-of-play of AI. His paper will interrogate the particular
ideologies of techno-solutionism that steer AI's rapid growth and
subsequent adoption, and the ontological and environmental impacts that
occur alongside. Drawing from artworks such as ASUNDER (2019), psWorld
(2010) and his new work, presented in conjunction with the ADA
symposium, The Closed World (2024), he will explore how the creative use
of a technology can reveal and interrogate the underlying assumptions of
the technology and the ways in which it engineers its user.
