Through mining the latent space of computer vision, Trevor Paglen's series \u003ci\u003eAdversarially Evolved Hallucinations\u003c\/i\u003e (2017-ongoing) reveals this phantasmal and hallucinatory domain. In the conversation included in this volume, he discusses how we can think from within these opaque structures and, in turn, questions the frequently inflated claims made on behalf of automated image-production systems. In an accompanying essay, Anthony Downey explores the uncanny realm of algorithmically induced images and proposes that AI, through its generative modeling of the world, invariably estranges us from the present and the future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrevor Paglen is a multidisciplinary artist known for blending image-making, sculpture, journalism, and engineering into his work.
