Lecture and talk with Siegfried Zielinski
4 pm
What distinguishes an image from an algorithmic artifact? And what sharpens our perception of this difference? In a lecture and conversation, Siegfried Zielinski – one of the most renowned media thinkers – reflects on photography and technical images in relation to the works of Lisa Barnard and Isadora Romero, the recent winners of the ‘After Nature . Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize 25’, while revisiting the thoughts of Vilém Flusser, as well as his own articulations of ‘Artificial Extelligence’.

The tour and talk will be held in English.

Snacks and drinks 

The ‘After Nature . Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize’, initiated in collaboration with C/O Berlin, was presented in 2025 to Lisa Barnard (1967, United Kingdom) and Isadora Romero (1987, Ecuador).

The exhibitions ‘You Only Look Once’ by Lisa Barnard and ‘Notes on How to Build a Forest’ by Isadora Romero will be on view at the Crespo Open Space, opening up two artistic perspectives on the interplay between nature, technology, and society.
