Seminar: Veiling Identities

These presentations will investigate the intricate relationship of imaging, identity, and scientific representation via an artistic and critical perspective. Sophie Kahn will analyse her own work involving 3D laser scanning, tracing back her manipulations in order to show how her manipulations highlight the fragility, loss, and memorial aspects of imaging as a representation of truth, but offering instead something more fractured and partial. Aisling Phelan's presentation will provide an overview of her own artistic practice, but specifically addressing her use of AI and digital imaging, especially via the perspective of her "Veiling Identities" presentation. Her own use of DeepFakes allows her to question surveillance culture today, touching aspects of agency, embodiment, and trust in technological systems, combining science fiction and scientific critique. Paul Vanouse's presentation will interrogate the scientific and historical construction of concepts of difference and sameness via DNA as a medium, challenging scientific determinism by emphasising instead the universal humanity that lies beyond these constructs.
