In his talk, Joel Sanders will trace the evolution of his thinking about gender, human identity and space over the past twenty-five years from the publication of STUD: Architectures of Masculinity (1996), which examined the role that architecture plays in the construction of masculinity through a gay male lens, to recent projects like Stalled!

Generative AI does not create new images out of thin air; it generates images that have a “certain something” in common with a selection of images we have fed into it.

Imitation was for centuries the backbone of the classical tradition in European art, and it was de facto banned by 20th-century modernism for many good reasons. As the rise of Generative AI is bringing the...
