Join FotoFest on Saturday, October 12, from 1 to 4 PM for Creating Art with AI: A Hands-on Experience, an exciting interactive workshop led by Christopher Meerdo, an Omnigenesis Collective artist and the exhibition organizer of Apeirophobia. Meerdo will guide participants in creating a projected mural through outpainting, a process of creating imagery beyond an existing image using generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. Art enthusiasts and artists of all skill levels are welcome and will learn about integrating ethical AI processes into their creative practices. 

This program is part of FotoFest's autumn 2024 exhibition, Artist-run, Artist-organized, featuring three discrete exhibitions by Texas-based artist groups La Mecha Contemporary, Omnigenesis Collective, and Throughline Collective.
