From Text to Image: AI’s Role in Visual Storytelling

Fotograf Zone AI FORUM is an innovative international conference focused on connecting AI technology and creativity. It offers a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and open discussion on the potential of AI in art, technology, and societal development.

Last year, the first conference of its kind in the Czech Republic – Creative Edge by Fotograf Zone – opened a broad debate on the relationship between artificial intelligence, visual culture, and language. Its success showed that these topics deserve further development, and it now continues as a regular thematic series under the title Fotograf Zone AI Forum.

Boris Eldagsen

Will it blend? The shift from text prompting to image references

Boris Eldagsen shows the complexity of creative collaboration between humans and AI - and what impact this will have on the role of creatives and their training. How the role of the creative did shift from text prompting to working with images as material and reference. Boris presents theories of creativity that help us to better understand and optimise the collaboration between humans and AI. In addition, he shows how workflows and workspaces are changing - and explains what AI users have in common with bartenders.

In this keynote, Stiles shares a deeply personal perspective on the rapidly evolving relationship between humanity and machines. Drawing from her award-winning practice and unique journey at the forefront of generative art, she examines how technology is reshaping creativity as we know it, and reveals how the timeless art of poetry can help us navigate the emotional, ethical, and existential challenges of being human in the age of AI.

Claudia Larcher

Keynote: AI and the Art of Historical Reinterpretation

Claudia Larcher is an Austrian artist, filmmaker and AI researcher. Her award-winning project AI and the Art of Historical Reinterpretation (Ars Electronica Prix 2024) explores how AI-generated images can address gender bias and historical gaps in datasets. By rewriting visual history, the project empowers marginalized groups and critically examines whose stories are preserved, altered, or erased in mainstream narratives.
