Artist Talk: James Year's "Stealing Fire: The Collision of Trucking and Artificial Intelligence"
Advertisement
FREE SCHOOL CLASSROOM
The over 800 billion dollar trucking industry is currently facing an A.I. driven arms race, through the development of self-driving trucks, by some of America’s most powerful companies.
The goal of this project is to help start a meaningful conversation on the projected consequences of artificial intelligence and what it means for the people who will be directly affected.
James Year is a documentary and editorial photographer who specializes in still photography, but is also proficient in audio, video, and post-production skill sets. He originates from a rural, blue collar background in NW Iowa, while also having six years of hauling international freight on C-130's during his enlistment in the United States Air Force. After his enlistment, he graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in Sociology and is finishing a M.S. in Mulitmedia, Photography and Design at Syracuse University. He is focused on the intersection of labor, technology, and the environment.
