Exhibitions
Queer PHOTO: The Zizi Show
Artists: Jake Elwes
Exhibition Date: 27 January—24 May 2024
Event Information
The Zizi Project explores the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and drag performance.
Drag challenges gender and explores otherness, while AI is often mystified as a concept and tool, it is complicit in reproducing social bias. Zizi combines these themes through a deepfake, synthesised drag identity created using machine learning.
The project explores what AI can teach us about drag, and what drag can teach us about AI.
Artworks are located across the Riverside Lawn, Myrtle Café, Lawn River & Pier and Weaving Sustainable Futures garden.
This exhibition is part of Queer PHOTO, a site-wide activation comprising large-scale outdoor works, indoor gallery exhibitions, and an interactive public program by local and international artists as part of Midsumma Festival. Check out Queer PHOTO Exhibition for more information.
A Queer PHOTO exhibition program presented by Midsumma and PHOTO Australia Supported by Creative Victoria through the Victorian Government’s Go West Fund.
