On Wednesday, 3 July 2024, VII Insider, in partnership with PhotoWings, organized a hybrid (in-person and online) event at The VII Foundation’s Alexandra Boulat Campus in Arles, France. Here you can watch the recording of this special event.
The production of synthetic media by AI models is rapidly and radically transforming the visual landscape. Generative AI can produce increasingly realistic photographs and videos, and this capacity is expanding exponentially.
