Conducted throughout 2011-2023 in collaboration with both human and machine intelligences, AURA is an investigation into photographic representation in the age of A.I. Presented as a set of visual essays and archival journaling, artist Norbert Schoerner tests and retests the relationship between language and image. Consisting of four collections of artworks, organised into sequential chapters, AURA tracks and reflects on new ways of seeing ushered in by the advent of machine learning, and on enduring questions of how our species perceives and depicts the sprawling dataset of the visible world.
