Salgado and his wife fled to france he taught himself photography and became a freelancer his work was shaped by the poverty and violence hed seen in his youth if there were a photographer from sweden for crabs.

Sebastiano saw gado is the 1st photographer to win the peace prize of the German Publishers Association in honor of his lifes work. Digital advances are also creating a people as well as exciting opportunities which are leaving their mark on literature to. The arts plus festival at the Frankfurt Book Fair explores the future of culture and creativity blogs being read. How will Artificial Intelligence affect the future of literature and culture. Will go volunteer feels comfortable in both worlds moment as an author himself and the founder of the arts plus bestival of Digital Culture and hes been studying the Creative Power of machines if you werent caught you just sing off if you mess up were featuring Artificial Intelligence here at the book fair because it could play an Important Role in publishing for example in marketing toward it but itll take a few years before Artificial Intelligence will be able to write a quality not sure. Now will travel from the Frankfurt Book Fair to the few turia berlins newly opened house of futures were meeting 2 authors meaning mondo who was born in india and now lives in new york. And can call who was born in the us and now lives in vienna and berlin and both writers are fascinated with the possibilities that a. This is. Fantastic. And i think its a really interesting subject. As it dates back to frankenstein. Ai somehow manages to combine all these different topics and fantasies. In her latest book lyall feel cotton portrays a wide variety of futuristic fantasies including time travel and parallel universes where thoughts become a reality a world of cyborg or human beings are not the measure of all things. I see a number of different reality options and that includes intelligence that we cant possibly imagine. If you turion exhibition makes the unimaginable a bit more understandable what sort of art will machines be able to create. They just reproduce the original material thats been fed into them what would poetry generated by in her own network look like. On your left and right or tree and the thing is because board is already a little abstract off so the neural net sporty often reads like a real person. Where is the poetry coming from then why does that make sense if a machine has written a woman and you still get feelings from it then where where does the soul thats creating that. Theres need was a serious challenge to our concept of human Creative Genius can machines really express the same sentiments as those that are found in the soul of a human artist or has that concept become outdated. What is a so it is a very politically loaded question because its one of the things that the colonizers the christians once and used against slaves and black people and people of other. Communities saying that its ok to treat these people like animals because they dont have a soul like only the christian has a soap. Meaning one doll was born in kolkata into the socalled untouchable cost which has suffered discrimination for centuries meaning believes that ai could provide people with an opportunity to fight injustice and make the world a better place. Theres discrimination in big data which like changes their responses to certain people as opposed to other people and now that like this is a possibility of being able to reason for itself theres a large question that y. Is Still Dreaming and already not one of the most privileged people in the world so i am not one of the people who will lose far if theres a different world order maybe its the conservatives who should be who arent. And cotton goes a step further she envisions opposed to minister aging which people have simply become superfluous. Pasta with those with some for their lives discovered in the post humanism is an interesting concept i enjoy playing around with the idea of having a world that gets along just fine without human beings just life will go on without them that may be my favorite fantasy. Of course in a world like that and cotton herself would become redundant holger valan doesnt think much of such apocalyptic visions. Problems like mushy and increase the fish ive given is kind of mean why should machines create art when there are no people around to appreciate it besides i think its a terrible idea and its not going to happen anytime soon. Artificial intelligence is really good it can occur and various kinds of data but not agreeing are just so moch. And arts class the new york Media Theatre Company 3 legged dog shows what such a dystopian future might look like. People stranded in an underground complex subjected. To the whims of Artificial Intelligence but even this vision was created by human imagination.
