Intro

This event is part of a series of workshops called “Annotation Fever!” Developed by the artists Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt, together with media theorist Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan, the format is meant to explore the practice of annotation, foundational to the creation of datasets for generative AI. Building on Källström & Fäldt’s two-decade-long collaboration, marked by critical experiments in photography, appropriation, and media aesthetics, this series of ongoing artistic and pedagogical exercises investigates how annotation increasingly permeates collective vision.

“Annotation Fever!” is here activated in dialogue with curator Francesca Lazzarini, within the framework of the exhibition The Space Between, raising questions such as: Can we transform the act of annotation into a space of cocreation or critical refusal? What new ways of looking, sensing, or being with an image arise when annotation becomes a collective practice rather than an isolated task?

The outcome of this collective annotating session will contribute to Iconologies of AI, a wider project aimed at creating a generative AI model using Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt’s work together with Thomas Sauvin’s archive, the Beijing Silvermine, as a dataset.

At 6 p.m. on the same day, a conversation between Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt and Francesca Lazzarini will immerse the audience in the duo’s artistic practice, delving into their works and discussing how they juxtapose images and texts to dismantle the dominant narratives shaping our time.
