Event
Exploring Portrait Mode: The Divine Selfie
Join the Portrait Gallery and Poetry Camera for a new kind of poetry workshop. Created by Kelin Carolyn Zhang and Ryan Mather, Poetry Camera is a camera that writes poems about what it sees. Using this unique technology as a platform for discussion, we will invite participants to explore portraits in the museum's collection through a new lens. In the second half of the workshop, participants will turn the camera inward to create poetic portraits of themselves. Participants will explore questions of selfhood, bias and authorship in the age of AI through the Portrait Gallery’s permanent collections.
