Artist and researcher Marty Miller (PhD) on pictorial ontology, redefining the found image, AI hallucinations and human imagination, and how diffusion reinterprets Sham Shui Po.
Ep.99 | Marty Miller (PhD) is a Hong Kong based artist and researcher. Our discussion spanned a broad range of topics, starting with an exploration of image ontology. We delved into Dr. Miller's research involving AI models and their ability to detect and reinterpret patterns in Sham Shui Po, a busy residential and shopping district in Hong Kong, and we explored AI hallucinations and human imagination.
Marty Miller (PhD) is a visual culture and technology learning researcher pursuing his PostDoctorate at CityU's School of Creative Media within The Studio for Narrative Spaces (https://recfro.github.io/people/). His research notes how image-creation practices adapt to emergent technology and why this influence informs the meanings created. Specifically, found photography and technological literacy designs fuel his scholarly output, funded creative work, and integrated teaching practice.
