Workshop with artist Marta Revuelta

In the era of the rise of generative AI (artificial intelligence), analysts project that by 2024, 60% of the data for artificial intelligence development will be synthetically generated. Given the difficulty and high cost of collecting new data, synthetic data created by AI emerges as a promising alternative. Such artificial datasets facilitate the simulation of training data for models, as demonstrated by the online generator "This Person Does Not Exist".

The "Synthetic Data" workshop, by artist Marta Revuelta and photographer and designer Dorota Grajewska, delves into the paradigm shift of these "synthetic realities" in the field of machine learning, where AI might reshape our digital world with fictional data, raising questions about the exponential increase of inherent biases in datasets and its potentially harmful consequences.

At the heart of this workshop, the "Synthetic War" project and the creation of a dataset of synthetic images of strikes generated from real warfare images serve as a starting point to explore the artistic, technological, and humanitarian dimensions of these artificial representations of war.

At the intersection of art, technology, and humanitarian issues, "Synthetic Data" offers an in-depth examination of the implications of producing synthetic media in our digital world. It invites critical reflection on the ethical and societal challenges of creating, using, and disseminating artificial images, especially in sensitive contexts like armed conflicts
