On the final day of the exhibition ghost frequency* we warmly welcome you to a presentation by researcher Lila-Lee Morrison, entitled Machinic Landscapes: Technology, Art and Environment in an Age of Planetarity.

The exhibition opens at 1pm and the presentation begins at 3pm. There will be coffee and pastries on offer.

Lila Lee-Morrison will discuss her current research that delves into the work of contemporary artists who utilize technologies of environmental monitoring to reimagine the genre of landscape. Running counter to scientific and military contexts of technological development, these artists’ practices address the figuring of diverse subjectivities as enmeshed in both technical and environmental processes.

Lila-Lee Morrison is a writer, scholar, and art historian specializing in the visual cultures of machine vision. Her research focuses on the intersection of art and technology, digital culture and the agency of the image. Morrison is currently a postdoctoral researcher on the ERC funded research project Show and Tell: Scientific representation, algorithmically generated visualizations, and evidence across epistemic cultures, at Lund University. She has written the book Portraits of Automated Facial Recognition: On Machinic Ways of Seeing the Face published by Transcript Verlag (2019) and is a 2023 recipient of the Andy Warhol Art Writer’s Grant. She has written for Artforum, Theory, Culture & Society, Media+Environment Journal and forthcoming for the eflux Accumulation series.
