Rosemary Lee in collaboration with Alexia Achilleos

Rosemary Lee is an artist and media researcher. Her work considers how image production technologies fit within larger narratives about art, knowledge, and relations between humans and machines. Lee completed her PhD at the IT-University of Copenhagen (2020) with a thesis entitled Machine Learning and Notions of the Image. Her book Algorithm, Image, Art (2024) expands upon that research, examining how recent developments in artificial intelligence in relation to historical tendencies in image production.

Alexia Achilleos is a Finnish-Cypriot artist and researcher based in Cyprus. Alexia is interested in the power dynamics that impact history, geopolitics and technology, with a focus on the Eastern Mediterranean region. Working with a variety of media, her work re-interprets dominant narratives and questions biases found within history and society, but also within AI technology itself, through a decolonial and intersectional lens. Her work has been presented at institutions and conferences such as Ars Electronica festival, NeMe Arts Centre, Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), NeurIPS, and World Intellectual Property Organisation. Alexia is a PhD Fellow at CYENS Centre of Excellence, undertaking artistic research on colonialism and AI, as well as a Research Associate at the Media Art & Design Research Lab (MADLab) at Cyprus University of Technology.
