Can you still believe your own eyes? Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithms are (un)consciously becoming more and more part of our daily lives. The relationship between man and machine is changing, and in the creative industry, it raises questions about the reliability of images. For example, how does AI impact the creative industry? Noorderlicht is exploring that question this autumn with a powerful group exhibition. Pixel Perceptions focuses on AI and the reliability of images. We look at what impact all those algorithms have on our daily lives and the consequences for creators and the creative industry.

From asking ChatGPT to make a shopping list, to generating images that are indistinguishable from real ones. We challenge you to think about the impact of AI on your life. Are you aware of this influence? What ethical dilemmas does it raise? And could we also use AI in a positive and effective way to raise a more inclusive society? Critical thinking is key, but also thinking in terms of possibilities.
