The Department of Art History, Aesthetics & Culture and Museology at the School of Communication and Culture at Aarhus University invites applications for two postdoctoral positions with a focus on image cultures related to artificial intelligence (AI).
Postdoc profiles
The successful applicants will be essential members of the research project ‘New Visions: Image Cultures in the Era of AI’ (funded by the Aarhus University Research Foundation and led by associate professor Lotte Philipsen). The project investigates how vision and image analysis in the field of AI informs and changes cultural understandings and uses of images. The project explores two overall questions: What aesthetic and epistemological consequences do new AI image practices have? and further, how do these consequences manifest themselves in a broader cultural and societal context? The primary activity of analysing cultural implications is conducted by comparing humanistic knowledge of vision and images with new practices in AI vision. More specifically, the research project provides thorough humanistic analyses of how the current technical redistribution of what or who is visible/invisible, viewer/viewed, image creator/consumer in contemporary AI vision practices relates to cultural redistributions of who has the power to look, decide what we look for, suggest how we act as objects of new gazes, and how we create and use images.
Qualification requirements
Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent academic qualifications.
